We have about 20,000 books in our College Library and we follow the Colon Classification System. Now we want to change the same to DDC. Friends, please guide me which is the best way to complete the entire project.We have Soul Software and our Library is fully automated. Your suggestions will be valuable for me.

You have subject wise list of books. Then search the class no. in DDC for subjects. You do not need to classify all books but find a DDC no against each Colon no. and change on all books accordingly. If you want to save time. You can go to: http://www.smartlibrarians.in/search/label/DDC
you will find ready made DDC nos. of several subjects. In case of doubt find the class number by own.
If you want I can also give you the readymade class numbers for Engineering, Computers and Management subjects.
You can contact me at ritesh.tiwari01@gmail.com

Dear Ritesh Kumar,
we did it in IITH library, for 8000 books. (85% accuracy)
data accuracy depends upon MARC availability.
if need any trial .... install and try it MARCedit
Thank you very much Sir for you kind guidance. I shall try it out.
Dear Mallikarjuna,
I tried your method mentioned herein without any success. Can you kindly elaborate the procedure for the greater benefit of all. I am herewith appending an excel file with ten accession nos and corresponding ISBN (13 digit). Can you send me the DDC nos for the same along with other MARC fields? I am just keen and curious to see how the system works. Conversely, is it possible to generate ISBN nos if the author and title are known?
Kindly reply
Thanks and regards
