LC Classification

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM - Material in the Graham Library is arranged on the shelves according to the Library of Congress (LC) Classification system. The LC system groups material into broad subject categories which are identified by a letter of the alphabet. These broad categories may be further subdivided by additional letters. The specific subject of the material is defined by the number following the first letter(s).

BX
6198
.A7
N64

The B classification includes books about religion. BX is the subdivision for books about denominations and sects. Following the initial combination of one or more letters with a number, you will find a further group composed of a single capital letter followed by one or more digits. This is used to represent the author’s name. In the examples above, A7 stand for the Assemblies of God denomination. N64 is reserved for the North Dakota District of the Assemblies of God.
