Hi all,
We are considering re-arranging our travel books from their current
arrangement, which follows the Dewey sequence, to a new one which allows
customers to find the places they want to visit more quickly.
Inevitably with anything like this there are a number of options open to
us, e.g. do we arrange the countries alphabetically or by continent? Do we
place cities and regions together with the countries they are part of, or
separately? etc., etc. so rather than go bull at a gate with one particular
system, I've decided it's easier to ask whether any of you have any
experience of having made a similar change.
If you did, which system worked for you? What made you choose it? Have
you ever changed it, and why? And, since no system is perfect, what are
the downsides of the one you eventually plumped for?
Thanks very much,
Chris Atkins,
Adult Team Librarian,
