Day 7
Today we will be moving:
- Books with DDC numbers 658 to 658.3 IVAN from level 1 to level 5 (you will not believe how many books we have with a Dewey number of 658.3 - it must be thousands).
- All the books with a DDC number from 000 to 226 on level 4 will be moved to level 1.
- Books with DDC numbers 658 to 658.3 IVAN from level 1 to level 5 (you will not believe how many books we have with a Dewey number of 658.3 - it must be thousands).
- All the books with a DDC number from 000 to 226 on level 4 will be moved to level 1.
More info regarding the vertical move
The daily moves (as published on the blog) are not done randomly, but according to a carefully calculated plan. The plan was developed by using Excel in order to ensure that all relevant books are moved and that we have sufficient space on a particular level when a move is done. Below is a picture of the plan, printed out and pasted on my office wall.

Day 6
Today we will be moving books with Dewey numbers:
- 622 to 657.999 from level 1 to level 5 and
- 364 to 621 from level 5 to level 3.
Apology: We do realize that due to the constant moving of books it is sometimes difficult to find a specific book and we sincerely apologize for that.
If to can't find a book: ask the Library monitors, staff on the floor or at the Info point to assist you.

Day 4
Today we are moving:
- Dewey numbers 700 - 799 from level 3 to level 4

As mentioned earlier on the blog, the project was 2 days behind schedule due to the fact that we had to get the spacing of books right before we could start with moving the items in between levels. I am happy to report that due to the hard work of the staff allocated to this project, we were able to make up the days that we lost and that the project is currently running according to schedule.

As mentioned earlier, we had to get the spacing of items right before we could start with the moving of items in between levels. This was done on 1 & 4 April.
We started with the moving of books in between levels today:
- Items with a DDC number from 000 - 005.068 were moved from level 2 to level 1.
- Items with a DDC number from 000 - 226 were moved from level 5 to level 1.
- Items with DDC numbers 400, 700 & 800 were moved from level 2 to level 4.
The catalogue was updated accordingly to display the new levels.

Progress - 1 April
During our trial run yesterday, we realized that we will have to get the spacing of items right before we can continue with moving the books between levels. Therefore, staff allocated to this project will attend to the spacing of items on levels one and two. We are planning to finish with this today and then start with the moving of items from one level to another on Monday (4 April).
