Has your library changed from Dewey to BISAC?
by Phil Skeltis 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Hello! We are pondering the pros and cons of switching from Dewey to BISAC. For those of you whose libraries have made the change to BISAC, I would love to hear your feedback!: * How has BISAC impacted patron's usage of the library - do patrons like it? Has it improved circulation? * How has BISAC impacted staff? I don't want to get too granular with my questions - any insights you can provide would be welcome. Thanks! Phil Phil Skeltis, Librarian Clinton-Macomb Public Library, North Branch 54100 Broughton Road Macomb , MI 48042 Phone: (586) 226-5089 pskeltis(a)cmpl.org<mailto:pskeltis@cmpl.org> he/him

Best, Sarah McLusky Project Archivist she/her/hers The Bentley Historical Library acknowledges that coerced cessions of land by the Anishinaabeg and Wyandot, including the grant by the Anishinaabeg under the Treaty of the Foot of the Rapids for "the college at Detroit" so that their children could be educated, made the University of Michigan possible, and we seek to reaffirm the ancestral and contemporary ties of these peoples to the lands where the University now stands.
