Library of Congress Classification

The Walter W. Stiern Library's book collections are organized using the Library of Congress Classification system. This means that for every subject there is an assigned letter code (or classification.) Much of sociological research and study are interdisciplinary and may be found in subclass H (general social sciences). Given the structure of the LC classification system, this Collections Policy Statement (CPS) considers sociology primarily as treated in subclasses HM-HX, Z5703, and relevant parts of Z7161- 7166.
