LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CLASSIFICATION ARTICLES AND NEWS

List of articles and news on Library of Congress Classification from Library and Information Science Articles and News--Please refer to this article and locate articles and news items given below under the heading "CLASSIFICATION & SHELFLISTING" where you will also find their URLs.

Library of Congress Discontinues NACO Literary Author Number Program (July 1, ) - All works by or about an individual literary author are generally classified together in the same number or span of numbers in class P, although multiple numbers or spans of numbers may be established for authors who write in more than one language. To allow for a high level of consistency, the classification number assigned to an author may be recorded in the author&#;s name authority record. In the past, the Library of Congress has accepted suggestions for literary author numbers from NACO members; those suggestions would be reviewed by LC staff and included in the name authority record as &#;LC&#;verified.&#; The program by which NACO members could suggest literary author numbers to LC has been discontinued.
