Have you all noticed the changes going on in the Adsetts Centre? The move of items from familiar locations is perhaps a bit confusing so we thought it would be a good idea to update you all on the purpose and completion dates for this summer's reorganisation.
Traditionally, the Adsetts Centre has had four subject floors within the building. This has been redesigned, partially in order to take the forthcoming collections from Psalter Lane, but also to provide a more logical flow and sequence to our existing collections.
The Dewey sequence in Adsetts now starts on Level 2 at 000 and finishes on Level 6 at 999. As such, the building is arranged like this:
Level 2 - 000-299 - computing, journalism, philosophy, psychology
Level 3 - 300-499 - economics, education, housing, language and linguistics, social sciences
Level 5 - 500-779 - architecture, arts, business, construction, design, engineering, management, maths and sciences
Level 6 - 780-999 - geography, history, literature and tourism
Obviously, there are a number of gaps where the material from Psalter Lane will be placed.
Other collections that will be shifted are as follows:
- All journals will be located on Level 2, including current displays
- All media will be located on Level 3
There will also be a single Helpdesk on Level 4 for all enquiries, including circulation, information and IT enquiries.
Please let us know if you have any questions about this process or if you have any concerns that you would like to bring to our attention.
