Can the new Classification PDF be printed out?

Posted by Joanne Ladewig on November 7, 2014 at 15:19 in Classification and Cataloging

Wow, great news about the new Dewey church library classification manual! If we buy it as a pdf, can we print it out to use in our library on workdays, or may we only refer to it onscreen?

Thanks!

    Some years later . . .
    As I first jumped back into church library responsibilities, I searched for just the right help. And I found it in this book.... now in this new form. As you can see, I'm posting this in the "wee" hours as I've been thinking through the "Christian Ethics" section. While processing this section that has been labeled so variably by librarians throughout the years, my go-to book stays close by. It's been extremely helpful. I highly recommend it still. It's more than worth the purchase. (And no, I was not paid for the plug!)

    Looks like I sent the broadcast but did not comment here. The pdf editions of LW books are treated like print books when it comes to copyright. They cannot be duplicated unless you get permission from LifeWay. However, articles you find on their website may be duplicated unless noted on the article.

    By all means download and print the book! I've had some copyright questions about the new pdf. I've consulted with LifeWay's copyright attorney. Next week, I will send out a broadcast with the information he provided us.

    THANKS!!

    It will be possible to to print the Classification PDF.  it will, of course, print on 8 1/2" by 11"  paper, which can then be placed in a binder.  You might see if you can print it at your church and be sure it prints on both sides of the paper. if at all possible.  

    Since the Subject Headings also will be printed the same size, it might actually work well to create a class and cat procedures manual with both items together, in addition to the pages explaining Classification & Subject Cataloging from the Church Library Ministry Information Services.
