School Libraries Classification Library Development Program Descriptions Library Materials Library Services Organizational Change Organizational Effectiveness Change Strategies High Schools In this article, Oakmont Regional High School (Ashburnham, Massachusetts) librarian Jeffrey Aubuchon describes how the school library is developing a new classification scheme called the Spartan system. This system seeks to mirror instructional practices at Oakmont. The major divisions of the collection will be drawn around academic departments and then topically according to course offerings. The Spartan system also allows flexibility in handling sensitive topics, such as the Holocaust and health-related issues, at the direction of teachers, the subject experts. Understanding the curricular context helps place books in the school library collection. While this approach is not unlike Dewey's subsection classification scheme, Oakmont's approach allows for curriculum-driven collection organization. The underlying goal of this new scheme is to link what is done in the school library more closely to what is done in the classroom by stressing conceptual relationships. |
