We've heard from members of the Dewey community far and wide in the past week about the staggering impact of coronavirus. Winton, Juli, Alex, and I are all doing well so far, continuing our work from home.
Libraries around the world are figuring out how to best protect their workers and their patrons. For many, that means closing down and providing services online. Library classification is not the top priority for anyone at this point, but we're hearing that some library workers are struggling to find remote projects that ensure they are serving their library users in some way while their workplace is closed to the public. If that's a situation you're finding yourself in, we have a number of potential Dewey revision topics that require the research expertise of library workers of all types. You can find more information about the Dewey contribution program at oc.lc/deweycontributors. We would be glad to work with you to improve the DDC for library users at your institution and around the world—please get in touch at dewey@oclc.org. Be safe, everyone!
Hi
I'm a potential volunteer but the link at oc./contributors above is broken. Please could you reset it/forward it to my email address?
Thanks
