What is the LCC?
The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is used by most academic libraries in the US and many around the world.
LCC is divided into twenty-one base classes, designated by letters. These are followed by numbers, which work like whole numbers, not the decimal system used by the Melvil Decimal System. Decimals, other letters and other numbers follow. You can discover more at the Library of Congress website.
As a government creation, LCC is without copyright. LibraryThing's implementation draws on the work of Matt Miller, John Mark Ockerbloom, and Seth Woodworth, who transformed the Library of Congress' abbreviated schedules into a machine-readable format.
