I would be interested to hear how people lay the groundwork for a reclassification project, especially when there are subject librarians involved, ie staff who do not work in a central cataloguing unit. Before you even get to the point of tackling the books on the shelf, does anyone have any tips on how to go about agreeing a classification scheme when you're dealing with a number of people who work in different locations and who view their own collections in differing ways? Is it a question of taking one area of Dewey at a time and working through it all together?
