Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system for organizing and arranging the book collections of the Library of Congress. Since its creation in 1898 as a local classification scheme, many academic and research libraries across the United States and Canada have adopted the system.

This workshop introduces participants to the basic structure and principles of LCC. Throughout the workshop, participants will have opportunities to classify topics using the LCC schedules (https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCC/freelcc.html).

This workshop complements the workshop Crash Course in Dewey Decimal Classification.
