LIBRARY CLASSIFICATION (LC)

system of arrangement adopted by a library to enable patrons to find its materials quickly and easily. While cataloging provides information on the physical and topical nature of the book (or other item), classification, through assignment of a call number (consisting of class designation and author representation), locates the item in its library setting and, ideally, in the realm of knowledge. Arranging similar things in some order according to some principle unites and controls information from various sources.

two major sections A and B are subdivided in to broad subject areas by Adding of a second letter to the notation.

B Archaeology

BC Techniques

BCB Data generative techniques

BCD Analytical techniques

When still father subdivision is necessary, a two letter code is operated by decimal point after the notation.

BCB Data generative techniques

BCB.Do Documentation Techniques

BCB.Ex Excavation

When the need arise for a subdivision achieved by the use of the two letter code to be resubdivided the same

system has been repeated.

C sectionNumerical

In the third category Section C, regions or countries are assigned a numerical notation of four digits. Futher specification is achieved by division of the whole number in a hierarchical pattern.

Eg:

1000 Africa2000 Americas3000 Asia3100 Arab World3600 South Asia3601 Bangladesh3602 Bhutan

To these area numbers are combined the classification numbers of either section A or B as appropriate. Thus:

“Indian Philosophy” India – 3603 Philosophy - AC = 3603AC

“ Essays in early Sri Lankan architecture” 3608 BIC
