From Wednesday, 3 June 2009, the AMC Library will begin changing the shelving arrangement of its collections to the Library of Congress classification system. This means books will have their shelf numbers changed from the decimal style (example: 333.956/56) to the alphabetic style (example: SH 328 .W35 2004). Books on the same topic will appear in a new location on the shelves.
The advantages are:
• Accurate call number details on the library catalogue • Matching call number details for subjects between AMC Library collections (such as books, print serials, audiovisual)
• Matching call number details to similar collections in Hobart branch libraries
• Easier to locate items on the shelves We expect to take 3 weeks in the reclassification of the collections. We apologise for any disruption that will occur during this time.

You suggested it in the Library survey… and we’re doing it! As part of our effort to become more environmentally sustainable, the paper which is to be used in all photocopiers and printers comprises 50% recycled pulp (from a mixture of office, home and industrial sources) and 50% virgin fibre from sustainably managed plantations, forest operations and sawmill wastes.
This will not add to the cost of printing and photocopying.
Simple actions towards sustainability
Examination papers in electronic form are available from the Library’s catalogue.
Need help finding the papers? This online tutorial shows you how to search the catalogue for them.
Further help and information is available at http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/exams.html
This is what the Library is doing about the third issue you raised in last September’s Library survey:

Look out for part 4 of what we’re doing about the issues you raised in the Library survey – coming soon!
