Library of Congress Classification Class K

Library of Congress Classification Class K System

Many large law libraries from the United States, Canada (specially the major libraries, but not the law firm libraries) and other countries use the classification scheme developed by the Library of Congress (LC). Under this system, each item (like a book) is assigned a call number according to its main subject. Most material in a Law library has call numbers starting with K.

Originally developed for books in the Library of Congress collectionBecame one of the two main systems used in U.S. and Canadian libraries. Currently has 21 subject ‘classes’LCC

Some Commonwealth countries use instead the Moys Classification or the Dewey Decimal scheme.

The Library of Congress classification scheme has two basic purposes: to arrange material in the collection in a logical and useful order, and to keep material about the same or similar subjects together on the shelf.

The Library of Congress classification system is alpha-numeric, as opposed to numeric systems such as the Dewey Decimal scheme.

Class K -LawClass Kcurrently has 15 ‘subclasses’ arranged by broad jurisdictional areas, for example:Subclass KF-Law of the United Statesfirst published in 1969Subclass KE-Law of Canadafirst published in 1976Subclass KD-Law of the United Kingdom & Irelandfirst published in 1973
