Work has begun on reclassifying and relabelling the Central Library DVD/VCD collection. Running numbers are being replaced by a 2-3 letter call number for films and LC classification for documentaries. As each DVD is stripped and relabelled, it is moved out onto shelves at the end of the 3 Day Collection.
Example is Bib 789800, ‘The Blair Witch Project’
Library Catalogue PAC note = ‘DVD. Shelved on Level 2’
Call number = BLA [derived from 1st 3 letters of film title]. DVD is not part of the call number but does appear on the label.
Note that this call number is not yet searchable in Local Call number index. This will be done later.
Restricted Loan DVDs are being reclassified and relabelled separately and will remain behind the desk.
