Descripción

• This feasibility study analyzes the options for transferring the complete holdings (130000 volumes) of the German Studies Library at the University of Vienna to a new shelf classification and a new book number system. The following steps were undertaken: a literature-based, critical examination of relevant classification systems; a practical comparison of these systems based upon selected items from the library's collection; the selection of the most appropriate system (the Regensburg classification scheme was preferred to the DDC); a segmentation of the library's holdings according to different requirements for reclassification; developing a model of the personnel expenditure required for the reclassification project (a total of approximately 10 person-years was estimated).
