Abstract

Subclass DT of the Library of Congress classification assigns comparatively brief spans of class numbers to many of the countries of East Africa and West Africa. Many of these spans leave very little space for classes which will be assigned in the future to cover the future historical developments of these countries. An analysis of twenty-nine revisions and relocations of these classifications which the LC personnel approved during 1980-82 shows that most of these changes have failed to address these notational problems. This study identifies two portions of Subclass DT which pose special problems and proposes several possible solutions to these problems.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Library of Congress (LC) class numbers and the LC subject headings which LC has assigned to 164 works of history and criticism of literature (belles lettres) related to women's studies. These books were classed in more than one hundred different class numbers and spans of numbers. Less than half of these books were assigned to class numbers in PA-PT whose captions contain either the word "women" or another word which points to women's studies, but slightly more than half were assigned "literature" subject headings which contain the words "women," "feminism," "feminist," or "sex role." The subject heading "Women in literature" was assigned to forty of these books, while the words "women authors" appear in a series of different subject headings assigned to forty-five of these books.
