This blog invites all clients to donate conference proceedings to the library.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last time you returned to your office after a conference, what did you do with the copy of the proceedings and all the brochures and business cards collected during the duration?<\/p>\n

Perhaps you are very organized, with everything in its right place, or perhaps everything is very haphazard on overloaded shelves, ready to fall to the floor at the slightest nudge?<\/p>\n

Please consider donating these conference proceedings to The Technical Library<\/strong>, where the information can be shared beyond the confines of your office. You can contact Debbie Lievaart<\/a> if you have anything to donate.<\/p>\n

Your books and CDs will be well looked-after here at the library\u2019s premises in the Chamber of Mines building, and you will be able to borrow the proceedings, or receive a copy of any paper by simply contacting Luke Ngubane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And think how much more space you will have in your office!<\/p>\n

Library jargon of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dewey Decimal Classification System<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Technical Library uses this system to classify its collection. DDC is an hierarchical number system that organizes all human knowledge into categories, which are each then broken down into many sub-categories to cover the whole spectrum of knowledge. Each item catalogued is given a shelf mark or number indicating what subject it covers and where it is shelved. This allows books covering the same subject to be found together.<\/p>\n

This blog is written promoting the products and services of The Technical Library. Your comments and suggestions are most welcome.<\/p>\n
