- Abstract
- The debate over how periodical collections are best organised has simmered since the 1940s. Describes Univ. of North Texas Libraries' review of its alphabetically arranged periodical collections and a proposal to classify them. A literature search revealed little information concerning implications or cost of a classification project and few alternate solutions. The topic was developed into a 1990 NASIG workshop, with a participant survey concerning serials organisation. Briefly looks at current developments for improving access to periodical literature

- Abstract
- Discusses the number of actions (or time) needed to organize library shelves. Studies 2 types pf problem: organizing a library shelf out of an unordered pile of books, and putting an existing shelf of books in the rough order. Uses results from information theory as well as from rank order statistics (runs). Draws conclusions about the advised frequency with which these actions should be undertaken

- Abstract
- For a variety of reasons, reclassification was a popular project in libraries in the 1960s. Although such projects have faded from the limelight, some of the reasons for doing them remain valid today, i.e., a need to cut processing costs, participation in cooperative ventures, the inconvenience caused by working with a collection split between two classification systems, and continuing changes in the Dewey schedules. This article compares the steps needed for reclassifying in a manual environment with those required when the library has an in-house computer system. The comparison shows how using the latter makes a reclassification project more feasible than it would be in a totally manual library. The article also discusses various issues associated with reclassification in an automated environment such as the problem posed by a frozen public catalog and the combining of reclassification and conversion projects.

- Abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this article is to outline the approach taken to the reclassification of the library collection within a small multi-site college of higher education - whereby 160,000 volumes were converted from the BLISS system to the Dewey Decimal Classification system, over a period of 11 weeks during Summer 2004. Design/methodology/approach - An automated approach was taken whereby the Library Systems Supplier - Talis was commissioned to convert catalogue records using a batch process. Risk analysis and critical path analysis were used as tools to keep the project on schedule and provide quality control. Findings - An automated approach allowed the project to be completed on time, within budget and with minimal disruption to services. Project planning was crucial to the success of the project. This included mapping BLISS to Dewey numbers, recruitment of a student team, management of work packages and ensuring continuity of the Library Service during the project. Practical implications - Institutional support for the project was secured because of its relevance to the College's corporate agenda and the promise of a wider impact that the project would have in terms of modernisation of the library service. Originality/value - Despite the apparent lack of current articles on re-classification, many libraries are still grappling with ongoing retrospective cataloguing projects. This case study demonstrates how one institution approached the problem and demonstrates that an automated approach can yield benefits. It will be of use to other libraries thinking of, or involved with, similar conversions. The partnership role of the Library Management System Supplier is also highlighted.
