The Library of Congress for Educational Materials

Printed materials in the UP Library System are classified according to the Library of Congress Classification System (LC Scheme) to determine their relative location on the library shelves. The LC Scheme classifies human knowledge into 21 major classes or subjects and into numerous detailed subclasses and topics. Its notation code combines one or two letters of the alphabet with a numeral (from 1 to 9999) to form the book's class number (the first element of the book's call number). Books on the same class or subject are shelved together and arranged alphabetically by the author number (the second element of the call number).

The College of Education Library uses the LC scheme to classify books by subject. This chapter is a guide to class or subject numbers of books catagerozied by area of study.
