Books Now ewey System ost Two Years Work System To New One e library have already been recorded Anderson, librarian at the Univeer nost two years Miss Anderson, and arian, have supervised the changing tter to the Dewey system. The romance language department, over 3,000 books, and the ancient lan guage group, 500 books, and the South Carolina room have been com pleted. The volumes of the engi neering department are almost com pleted. "We are not able to change the books in the main department until we have more space in the new li brary," Miss Anderson related. The change is being made because the modern system, grouping books I)y tens or multiples of ten, is easier than the old Cutter system now be ing used at the University. The transforming of each book is in involved process. "At least five and very often 10 to 15 cards for each title in the li )rary have to be changed as well as the book inside and out," Miss An ierson asserts. Usually groups of 25 books are taken out at a time and are kept only two days by the workers.
