So the WebDewey interface in Connexion Browser is going away? Will the WebDewey link in Connexion Client be redirected to the new interface once the change happens?
Yes, that is correct. There will be redirect to the new interface after they install Abridged later this year. If you want to start using DDC23 now, you need to use the new interface at http://dewey.org/webdewey.
