Changing Call Numbers

As we moved the books to new sections, we batch changed the call number prefix on the books as we went along. This helped us find books while we were in the process of moving because we knew whether a certain book was in its new location or still on the "Dewey shelves".

We decided to leave the Dewey number as is, both because the sections are still in Dewey order and because some day, a librarian coming into the school after me may hate that we dismantled Dewey and want to move it back in place.

The batch change to Music

Here are the new sections and the call number prefixes for Dewey:
