[Jason Russell]

Only 2 weeks to go until CILIP’s Dewey Decimal Classification Executive Briefing:
Strength in numbers: Going local, global, and mobile with Dewey
15 September 2011, London

With only 2 weeks to go until CILIP’s new Executive Briefing on Dewey Decimal Classification, in association with OCLC, make sure you book your place today.

Libraries are sitting on an untapped goldmine in their collections: the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) numbers associated with local content. The key question is how can this data be exploited to improve access and reduce costs through cooperation and standardisation?

Twelve expert speakers<http://www.cilip.org.uk/dewey2011/pages/speakers.aspx> from across the global information community will address the exciting opportunities DCC offers through case studies, panel discussions and presentations.
