The Library of Congress Classification (LC) System is the method used to organize books, journals, and other materials in the USCA Library.
The table below shows an expanded subject list. These subclasses serve to further identify materials within more narrowly focused subject disciplines. When an item is cataloged it is assigned a unique callnumber based on its subject. All items in the library are assigned a unique callnumber. One especially helpful feature of the LC Class System is that items with similar subjects are located close to each other on the library shelves.
