2. The Swedish Dewey project
• Ended in 2011
• One goal: to develop tools for joint search and
navigation of material with SAB codes and material
with DDC numbers
• A search tool was developed by Pansoft in spring 2012
- WebDeweySearch

4. LIBRIS – the union catalog
• Most records have classification codes
SAB - 2010 ; DDC 2011-
• The national subject heading system Svenska
ämnesord was created in 2002
• Therefore classification codes are important for
retrieval
• In LIBRIS all records with SAB codes have been
assigned DDC codes via a conversion table (and vice
versa)
