- Abstract
- The hypothesis that the dispersion of documents, occuring when a collection id reclassified from the Superintendent of Documents Classification (SuDoc) to the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is insignificant is not supported. This suggests that the SuDoc scheme is inappropriate for topical questions. The rank order statistics show no relationship between the documents orderings produced by the 2 schemes, and in no case did an examined SuDoc class contain less than 48% of the LCC main classes. LoC MARC records containing SuDOCs numbers for the Dept. of the Army, the Dept. of Agriculture, the Dept. of State, the Library of Congress, and a broad general sample were sorted by both schemes and the resulting orders compared
