Library classification is a systematic process of organizing library materials based on their subjects to facilitate easy retrieval and access. It involves assigning classification numbers to books and other resources according to a predefined scheme, such as the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), or Colon Classification (CC). These schemes group materials into broad subject categories, which are further subdivided into more specific topics. Classification helps libraries maintain an organized collection, ensuring users can quickly locate and access the information they need.
