Class N, or, Classifying the fine arts using the Library of Congress classification
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
Class N is the schedule for the fine arts in the Library of Congress classification scheme. LCC reflects the needs of a general research library but number construction is flexible and the scheme is kept current. It has worked well for many art and architecture collections, but what are some of the issues with the scheme? Can a general scheme satisfy the needs of the focused collection in a special library? And there is the unasked and unanswered question: does shelf classification matter in the 21st century, especially for digital materials?
