The Macromedia Library uses the Regensburger Verbundklassifikation (RVK) as a classification system. All libraries apply it to their holdings. Postings with the main groups of the RVK can be found in all campus libraries. As the origin of the RVK is in Germany, a complete translation does not exist. We adapted the main groups we use, you can find a translation of some groups on the Homepage of the RVK.
The holdings of the Macromedia Library have no code in the shelf marks to distinguish the copies of the single locations. You can recognise the books of your campus by the assigned location.
This means that the same shelf marks can be used once by every campus and so be found more than once in the OPAC.
The 33 subjects which were traditionally taught at German Universities are the basis for the specialized classification of the notations. Every subject consists of a main group and a subgroup. Displayed are these groups in the first two letters and the following three to five numbers (depending on the subject).
An example to help you understand the structure:
QP 624 D264
The classification QP 624 is part of the following subgroups:
QP 410 - QP 890: Elements of the Firm
QP 600 - QP 690: Marketing
QP 620 - QP 624: Marketing Instruments
QP 624 D264 = Individual parts to identify the single copy ⇒ See Structure of the shelf mark
Every shelf mark is formed by an encoded heading term. As general rule the heading term consists of the author or editor of the publication.
In Regard to the example from above, this means:
QP 624 D264 = heading term is the author Scott Davis
If more than publication from the same author or in the case of authors share the same encoding the shelf mark is augmented by a second encoding:
QP 624 D264 B8 =The first term of the title was encoded to distinguish the publications ⇒ the encoding can consist of up to three numbers
Further possible differentiations of publications are:
For the study courses of Macromedia University the most important groups are:
