The Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) is used to organize books in many school and public libraries.  We, like most academic libraries use the Library of Congress Classification System (LCC).  The LCC system has 21 classes of information represented by letters of the alphabet.  Classes are divided into subsections given a two or three letter combination.  For example, Class L is Education, divided into 10 subclasses including L for General Education, LA for History of Education and LB for Theory and Practice of Education.
