Same Blog, New Platform
Reset your bookmarks and your feeds - Catalogue & Index's Blog is moving to a new home as part of Cilip Communities.
You don't have to be a member of the Cataloguing and Indexing Group or even of Cilip in order to read or comment on the blog - same rules as here on Blogger. However, being part of Communities allows us to integrate with other blogs and news there, which, as a Cilip Special Interest Group is important to us.
The blog itself can be found at http://communities.cilip.org.uk/blogs/catalogueandindex/default.aspx
with RSS2 feed at http://communities.cilip.org.uk/blogs/catalogueandindex/rss.aspx
and Atom at http://communities.cilip.org.uk/blogs/catalogueandindex/atom.aspx
and, of course, all the Cilip Communities Blogs are at http://communities.cilip.org.uk/blogs/default.aspx
CIG is proud to be the first Group to set up a blog at Cilip Communities, and we hope that all our current blog readers will not be inconvenienced too greatly by this move. I still have half of January's posts to transfer to the new platform, and will amend this post once I've done so.

CIG Scotland AGM
The CIGS AGM took place on Friday 23 March at the Causewayside Building of the National Library of Scotland.
Following the AGM, Stuart James, former CIG Secretary and founding member of CIG Scotland gave an entertaining overview of the organisation's history as he witnessed it first hand. The room was packed with well-wishers for Stuart's retirement, which was celebrated after the meeting with cake and suitable refreshments.
C&I is delighted to be able to print the text of Stuart's talk in issue 156 and would like to take the opportunity to thank him for sending it and a copy of his article in the journal from 1990, which we will reprint alongside it so that members have a comprehensive oral-history-in-print of CIGS.
We would be interested to hear from other members of CIG and CIGS who would like to share their memories of our organisational history.
Gordon Dunsire, Chair of CIGS, gave a lively presentation on the developments of RDA and commonly-expressed concerns about it, garnered from mailing lists, events, and other sources, all of which he allayed in expert fashion.
Neil Nicholson (Book Reviews Editor) and I were pleased to address the audience on the recent developments of C&I, and we are grateful to all who offered us articles and book reviews for forthcoming issues. Thank you to the CIGS Committee for inviting us, and to the assembled CIGS membership for welcoming us into their midst.

Advice needed - classifying material on Islam
I need some professional advice. Soon I am to organise and therefore
classify a large collection of books on Islam. I have been through a list
of important topics in Islam put together by a Muslim and found all but 4
out of 30 topics listed in Dewey 21. However, just as I find DDC21 to be
useful but limited for my own faith so I suspect for Islam. Could anyone
who is involved in the classification process of books on Islam and also
Islamic books who either has knowledge as a scholar or adherent to that
faith proffer some advice as to the most adequate classification system for
the task?
I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Keith Lang
