Is your library using WebDewey?
by Amanda Cossham 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Dear all I am trying to get some indication of how many NZ libraries are currently using WebDewey. This is in the light of a planned revision of the module on DDC in the cataloguing and classification course I teach. I'd like to know whether it's worth while adding in additional content that focuses on WebDewey. Thank you Amanda Amanda Cossham Principal Lecturer School of Social Sciences Open Polytechnic | Kuratini Tuwhera Phone +64 4 9135518 or 0508 650200 ext:5518 | Fax +64 4 9135727 3 Cleary Street, Waterloo | Private Bag 31914, Lower Hutt 5040 http://www.openpolytechnic.ac.nz http://openpolytechnic.academia.edu/AmandaCossham Please consider the environment before printing this email.
