In this article the authors describe an outreach program, consisting of an exhibition and three associated talks, initiated by the University Library to demonstrate how art can be extended to the community and tie in with the University Vision. Technical services librarians have worked closely in the planning, developing, and delivering of the program. The preparation process has engaged faculty from the fields of History and Visual Arts to support crossdisciplinary talks. Attempts were made to collect feedback from exhibition visitors and seminar participants. Results suggest that the program has provided a different kind of learning experience for librarians, faculty, students, and the community.
This article provides a background for the change of the classification system for Chinese language materials at an academic library. It describes how the decision was made; how choices on partial reclassification or total reclassification were made; and how matters such as project planning, implementation, and vision for the future are being handled. It is hoped that the authors' experience can offer tips for other libraries contemplating reclassification projects. By making use of the Chinese Library Classification (CLC) numbers from various sources in Mainland China, the authors envisage increased cataloging efficiency and cost saving in the long run.
