Ulrike Reiner, Verbundzentrale des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes (VZG) Göttingen, stellte ihr Projekt der automatischen Analyse von Notationen der Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation (DDC) vor. DDC-Notationen zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie in aller Regel lang und komplex sind und in ihrer Herstellung zahlreiche Regeln zu durchlaufen haben. Ihr Computerprogramm analysiert DDC-Notationen und gibt alle in einer DDC-Notation enthaltenen DDC-Notationen samt DDC-Klassenbenennungen aus. Die gewonnenen DDC-Klassenbenennungen können z.B. für eine DDC-basierte Suche verwendet werden.

Abstract:
Hans-Ulrich Seifert von der UB Trier stellte mit dem von der DFG geförderten Projekt Krünitz ein in jeder Hinsicht außergewöhnliches Digitalisierungsvorhaben vor. Es geht um die 140.000 Druckseiten der in 242 Bänden vorliegenden Oekonomisch-Technologischen Encyklopädie von Johann Georg Krünitz, die zwischen 1773 und 1858 entstand. Die Digitalisierung der 140.000 Druckseiten ist inzwischen erfolgt; als problematisch erwies sich gleichwohl, daß allein der lange Erscheinungszeitraum das seinige dazu tat, daß inhaltlich zusammengehörige Sachverhalte an vielerlei Alphabetstellen auftauchen. Hier setzen die Trierer Fachleute die DDC zur Klassifizierung aller Lemmata und Bilder ein und erreichen eine sachliche Gliederung und eine Gesamtschau, die in der Papierausgabe nicht zu erreichen war. Ein Beispiel: Das Suchwort Bier ergab 2.558 Treffer. Mehr hierzu unter www.kruenitz.uni-trier.de

Abstract:
The aim of this master's thesis is to examine how shelving is organized among Swedish libraries that have switched from the Swedish classification system SAB to using the DDC, and what problems arise in this process. The method used is interviewing librarians at Swedish university and special libraries. The Swedish national library announced their swap to the DDC in 2008, and several libraries followed suit. The reported advantages with a switch were mainly that using an international classification system meant that Swedish libraries would no longer have to undertake a time consuming classification work, since most of the foreign literature already is Dewey classified. Disadvantages were that the DDC is not adapted to Swedish circumstances. Research on open shelving show that obtaining a browsable book collection requires a broad shelf classification. If libraries motivate their shelving solution by wanting browsable collections, efforts will be made to keep shelf classification broad enough. Certain categories have by tradition been shelved separately in Swedish libraries, and this study seeks to find out if a classification shift changes this custom, and if so, whether or not this is only attributable to the change of classification. Findings show that libraries motivated their swapping of classification mostly by the perceived flaws of the SAB system, and not by the promise of saving time, nor by the benefits of the DDC system. Most librarians seemed to lack sufficient knowledge of the DDC, which may be a reason why librarians claimed that the workload necessary to re-shelve the stock was the biggest drawback with switching to the DDC. Most libraries desired browsable shelves, and therefore used shelf lists to better be able to adapt the classification system to the stock. The custom of shelving certain categories separately survived the classification swap for some categories, but not for others. In the latter case this can be ascribed to a dwindling use of these specific categories by the patrons.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the understanding of classification as it is manifested in the discussion of implementing DDC in the BIBSAM-libraries. This is accomplished through the answering of three questions: 1. How does the discussion go about the implementation of DDC in the "Cataloguing practises: a survey of Swedish research libraries" project?2. Have there been any criticism against the project or the implementation and, in that case, what does it say?3. How did the discussion go when an implementation of DDC was discussed in the beginning of the twentieth century?From the standpoint that bibliographic practice is to be understood as a social practice where sociohistorical considerations has to be taken when discussing knowledge organization, the authors scrutinised reports and articles regarding the "Cataloguing practises: a survey of Swedish research libraries" project, and conducted ten unstructured interviews with people with insight in the project or other relevant experiences of cataloguing and classification. The study shows that the argumentation in the discussion of the bibliographic practice mainly regards technological and economical aspects and that little interest is devoted to societal implications. The authors conclude that sociohistorical issues are given too little focus and make an attempt to place the bibliographic discussion in an institutional and ideological context.

Abstract:
Swedish libraries are currently discussing andimplementing the classification system Dewey (DDC).Most libraries in Sweden have used the Swedishclassification system SAB until recently. In 2008 TheRoyal Library of Sweden (KB) decided to switch fromSAB to DDC. Many academic libraries chose to followKB’s example and by January 2011 a switch was made atKB and at many academic libraries.The aim of this master thesis is to examine and analysethe library sector’s discussion that occurred before andduring the Swedish switch from SAB to DDC. The mainquestion asked is; What is being discussed about Dewey2010-2011 and in what manner? To organize and anlysethis discussion discourse analysis is used. Discourseanalysis by Laclau and Mouffe is used both as methodand theoretic ground. The material which has beenanalyzed consists of the library sector’s discussions andstatements found in journals, reports, blogs, meetingprotocols and seminar.The analysis shows four different discourses; thetransition discourse, the spatial discourse, the instrumentaldiscourse and the public library discourse. In conclusion,it can be argued that the transfer to Dewey has gone froma planning stage to an implementing stage at academiclibraries. Public libraries in Sweden have shown lessinterest and are considered to be in a planning stageparallel to the academic libraries implementing stage.Earlier discussions about pros and cons with Dewey havealmost disappeared 2010-2011 and discussions of spatialmatters are frequently occurring in the material.

Abstract:
This master's thesis examines the possibilities of correction and change in a classification scheme, with regard to the changes that occur in the world the classification system intends to describe. Applying a comparative method and classification theory, the classification of the example of the former Yugoslavia (1918-1941, 1945-1991), its republics and successor states, and the languages, formerly known as Serbo-Croatian are examined through a comparison of the main classes and divisions of language, geography, and history, in Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), and Klassifikationssystem för svenska bibliotek [Classification for Swedish Libraries] (SAB). Eight editions of DDC, from 1876 to 2014, are compared to seven editions of SAB, from 1921 to 2013. The editions have been selected in order to show the changes prior to, and following, the First World War, changes after the Second World War, and changes following the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991. The examination shows that both systems have updated their editions according to the changes in former Yugoslavia over the years. DDC has well constructed facet schedules, especially Table 2 concerning geography, but fails, in some cases, to construct a logic and hierarchical structure for the republics and languages of Yugoslavia, partly due to the fixed classes and divisions that survive from the very first edition of DDC from 1876, but also as a result of the decimal notation, and its limitations, itself. SAB seeks to construct a hierarchically logic and equal scheme for the languages, areas, and states of the former Yugoslavia. Although the facets for geography and chronology aren't as developed as the ones in DDC, the overall result is that of a logically consistent and hierarchically clear classification, with short notation codes, thanks to the alphabetic mixed notation, which allows more subdivisions than the numerals and the pure notation of DDC. This study is a two years master's thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies.

Abstract:
In November 2008 The National library of Sweden announced that they had decided to switch classification system from the Swedish made SAB system to the international Dewey decimal classification system, in their announcements were recommendations for other libraries to also make the transition to Dewey. This decision was based on cataloging work with being able to reuse international material, make Swedish material more visible internationally and work with a system that is constantly maintained. The purpose of this study is to examine how DDC has influenced the public libraries from librarian’s perspectives, and if the transition has affected the organization negatively. It will also study the librarian's experience and thoughts about the transition and DDC as the topic. This study will apply the theory of new institutional theory, or neo-institutional theory, on the way organizations are understood with how they change to be more alike to each other, where the concepts of isomorphism will be used as analytical concepts and themes to understand how the changes can happen. Through semi-structured interviews six librarians got interviewed from five different public libraries, who also had experienced the transition from SAB to Dewey. The findings are that Dewey as a system did not have any severe or bad consequences to the public libraries who implemented it, but that it still has aspects to it that works poorly which proves that Dewey still needs to get more adapted to public libraries in Sweden.
