This table does not represent the complete spectrum <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Library</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> <strong>Classification</strong><br />
(LCC) system. For example, LCC provides sections dedicated <strong>to</strong> Military Science (U‐V), Judaism<br />
(BM), Islam (BP), and others which are not present in this simplified conversion chart. The<br />
subject headings are also generalizations <strong>of</strong> what each class actually represents. A much more<br />
detailed description <strong>of</strong> how <strong>Dewey</strong> translates <strong>to</strong> LC can be found at the following website:<br />
