As from today we will start to move books on political sciences from level 5 to level 2. Today books on government systems, civil & political rights, political processes and slavery & emancipation (Dewey numbers: 321 -326) will be moved down to level 2.
We will also continue to replace the spine labels of books on level 4 with old Zastrau numbers with Dewey spine labels.
The APK Library is currently in the process of changing from one classification system (Zastrau) to another (Dewey). The purpose of this blog to provide information to stakeholders regarding the planning, developments, possible impact and relevant facts regarding Dewey (DDC). It must be noted that our aim throughout this project is to finish this project with as little disruption possible to our clients. NB - The Law Collection on level six will remain in Zastrau order.

Day 47 - 22 June
Today we will not be moving any books from one level to another. On level 2 we will continue to move books to the right so that we can get the spacing right for the moving of books from level 5, scheduled for tomorrow.
As mentioned a few months ago on this blog, we still have some books on level 4 that do not have Dewey spine labels. As from today we will be labeling these books with Dewey numbers and then interfile them.

Day 46 - 21 June
The last move from level 2 to level 3 will be done today with the moving of books on medicine, pharmacology and diseases (Dewey numbers: 614 - 617). This means by the end of the day no more books will be moved to or from level 3.
We will continue with moving books to the right on level 2 - to make space for books in the 300 class that still have to be moved from level 5 to level 2.

Days 44 & 45 - 17 & 20 June
On Friday we continued to move books on level 2 to the right (in order to have sufficient space for books from level 5 that still have to be moved to this level), books with Dewey numbers in the 335 class were moved to join 336. Today all books from 333.73 to 334.99 will be moved to join 335.
Books on labour, financial and land economics (Dewey numbers: 329 to 333) were moved down to level 2 on Friday and today all books on international relations (Dewey 327) will be moved to level 2.
On level 3 we are continuing to move books to the left. All books from 595 to 612 will be moved to today. That should create sufficient space for the remaining books in the 600 class that still have to be moved to level 3 from level 2.

Day 42 - 13 June
Today we will be moving the remainder of books in the 500 class (Dewey numbers: 581 - 599.999) from level 2 to level 3. These are books on plants and zoology/animals. By the end of the day, ALL books from 500 to 599.9999 will be moved to level 3.

Outstanding moves
In order to complete the moving of books, there are only two moves that still have to be done:
* Dewey numbers: 600 to 621.999 from level 2 to level 3 and
* Dewey numbers: 300 to 341.23 from level 5 to level 2.
As you can see the end is in sight! We should be finished with these two moves within the next two weeks.
