Synopsis

Discover how library classification organizes literary knowledge

Learn how PN, PR, and PS are arranged to help libraries classify general and national literature, with practical guidance for cataloging and administration.

  • How the schedules were created and revised for administrative use
  • Why some well-known authors may be omitted or cited illustratively
  • How to apply the tables for groups like English, American, and foreign literature
Ideal for librarians, catalogers, and researchers who work with library classification or study the structure of literary categories in the Library of Congress system.
