Thanks!

Thanks, this is great!

I don't suppose anyone's felt the urge to count how many categories there are?

Looks like there are 220. Easier than the Dewey 1000, but not as easy as the 100 Dewey subcategories. (Whatever the actual numbers for those might be.)

Thanks!

Just a quick FYI-in the Library of Congress schedules, they list KJ-KKZ together and KL-KWZ together. Hopefully, this will simplify your list.

Oh, dear. I was hoping someone would be able to do the entire, fully-elaborated K schedules. :)

Now that would be a horrible challenge. I think K is going to be bad enough already :)

<bump>-ing a useful thread.

Here's a link to complete PDF lists of the classification schedules. It's from the LOC website and therefore very in-depth. A great resource if you are wanting to get waaaay down into the nitty gritty of subcats. The outlines are probably most helpful and are shorter. https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCC/freelcc.html#About
