Event Name:
Ditching Dewey
Competency:
Collection Management
Description:
Many public libraries, and some school libraries, are transitioning away from using the Dewey Decimal System for a variety of reasons: it is outdated and leaves no room for change; to make libraries more accessible to a wider variety of people; and to group related subjects together to name a few. Get a basic overview of the BISAC system, hear about the experience of the Madison Public Library making the switch, and learn some tips and tricks for implementing your own alternative system at your library.
