Like earlier editions, this thoroughly updated sixth edition of the
classic textbook provides readers with a basic understanding of the
Library of Congress Classification system and its applications. The
Library of Congress Classification system is used in academic,
legal, medical, and research libraries throughout North America as
well as worldwide; accordingly, catalogers and librarians in these
settings all need to be able to use it. The established gold
standard text for Library of Congress Classification (LCC), the
sixth edition of Guide to the Library of Congress Classification
updates and complements the classic textbook's coverage of
cataloging in academic and research libraries. Clear and easy to
understand, the text describes the reasoning behind assigning
subject headings and subheadings, including use of tables; explains
the principles, structure, and format of LCC; details notation,
tables, assigning class numbers, and individual classes; and covers
classification of special types of library materials. The last
chapter of this perennially useful resource addresses the potential
role of classification in libraries of the future. Serves primarily
as an introductory textbook for core LIS courses in cataloging and
classification and in organization of information but also as a
reference work for practicing librarians Includes an appendix
containing models for sub-arrangements within disciplines
