How to Read Call Numbers
Call numbers are simple once you get the hang of it!
First, when you look at a call number, you will read it alphabetically: AB comes before BB, which comes before CB.
Then, you read it numerically: BB20 comes before BB100, which comes before BB200
Remember: even though 20 starts with a 2, it is still a smaller number than 100!
So, if we put CB395, AB100, CB40, and BB600 in order, it looks like: AB100, BB600, CB40, CB395
The Art of Product Design by
Embrace Open Engineering and accelerate the design and manufacturing processes Product development is a team sport, but most companies don't practice it that way. Organizations should be drawing on the creativity of engaged customers and outsiders, but instead they rely on the same small group of internal "experts" for new ideas. Designers and engineers should be connecting with marketing, sales, customer support, suppliers, and most importantly, customers. The Art of Product Design explains the rise of "Open Engineering," a way of breaking down barriers and taking advantage of web-based communities, knowledge, and tools to accelerate the design and manufacturing processes. Explains how to establish open flows of information inside and outside an organization, increasing the quality and frequency of input from different groups and stakeholders Hardi Meybaum is the founder and CEO of GrabCad, the largest community of mechanical engineers and designers in the world Open Engineering is crowdsourcing, it's collaborating, it's sharing and connecting. And it's helping a growing number of companies create better products faster than they ever imagined. The Art of Product Design shows you how to harness its power for your company.
Design Thinking: Beyond Sticky Notes by 
Disobedient Objects by
The book explores the art of protest culture and how objects can be politically active. It will accompany the V&A exhibition 'Disobedient Objects'. This rebellious and groundbreaking exhibition asks how politically active objects can change the world by out-designing authority. It proves political activism to be a vibrant engine for experimental and alternative design. It showcases how artists have produced work within the context of social movements in a self-conscious and formally avant- garde re-imagination of the traditional objects of political protest. The exhibition will focus on the distinct cultural history of activist art and design since 1989 but will historicize work from this period alongside earlier inspirational objects of protest including, for example, a Luddite hammer, the barricades and balloons of the Paris Commune and Gandhi's spinning wheel.
