Library of Congress Classification

The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system used by libraries to organize and categorize books and other materials. It assigns a unique combination of letters and numbers to each subject area, making it easier for patrons to find resources. The main classes are denoted by letters (like "A" for General Works, "B" for Philosophy), and each class is further divided into subclasses. This systematic approach helps libraries manage vast collections and assists users in locating specific topics efficiently within the library's holdings.
