Why, you might ask, did we embark on such a pro-ject that would absorb most of our time this Summer? ~ The main reason to do a major shift is because the ar-rangement just didn't make sense. The Library of Congress created a classification system to allow for a logical arrange-; . . ·'.. .  :::.-. . ,., ment of legal materials. Although we had some unique groupings of materials, such as the foreign law collection, the overall scheme did not seem logical to our patrons. The second reason for shifting the collection this summer was we had used all the space on the third floor. The goal was to make the collection more logical to use, but the driving force for doing it this year was space. Eliminating 9000 volumes of du-plicate titles also allowed us to complete the project. Not only were all the books moved, but Sally Wambold had to change all the re-cords (over 40,000 titles) in the catalog. Fortunately a new program developed by a customer of our library system, allowed Sally to move things in batches, instead of a record at a time. The 2003-04 Muse Guide will reflect the changes in more detail, but in the mean-time, the following list outlines the new arrangement, from "top to bottom": • Classified materials "A" to "K" • Classified materials "KA" to "KF" • Federal reporters, digests, A.LR., and National Reporter System • State Materials "KFA" to "KFZ" • KFV treatises and Va. reporters • Classified materials "KG" to "Z" Third Floor Second Floor, beginning at the elevator First Floor (beginning to the right of the stairwell) First Floor following the National Reporter System Virginia Collection alcove, First Floor Basement, Journals Room, rolling shelves • Superseded materials Basement, elevator side, rolling shelves We'll post signs throughout the library, but please do not hesitate to ask for help.
