National Library of Medicine Classification

The National Library of Medicine Classification (NLM Classification) is a system used to organize and categorize medical literature and information. It assigns unique alphanumeric codes to different subjects in health and medicine, making it easier for libraries, researchers, and healthcare professionals to find relevant materials. For example, books about anatomy might have a specific code, while those on public health have another. This standardized system ensures consistent organization and retrieval, facilitating access to vital medical information for those who need it, whether they are researchers, practitioners, or students in the field of health.
