LCC (Library of Congress Classification)

The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system used by libraries to organize and categorize books and materials. It assigns a unique alphanumeric code to each item based on its subject, making it easy to locate within the library. The system groups related subjects together using broad categories (like general works, philosophy, science) represented by letters, with further specificity provided by numbers. This classification helps librarians and users quickly find materials and understand the general topic of a book just by its code, streamlining the process of locating and managing large collections.
