Library of Congress Classification System
Most items in the JMU Libraries are cataloged according to the Library of Congress (LC)
classification system, using a combination of numbers and letters in a set order. The letters at the
beginning of each call number indicate subject area. The main categories in LC are:
| A General Works | M Music & Books on Music |
| B Philosophy, Psychology, Religion | N Fine Arts |
| C Auxiliary Sciences of History | P Language & Literature |
| D History: General & Old World | Q Science |
| E History: America | R Medicine |
| F United States Local History | S Agriculture |
| G Geography, Anthropology, Recreation | T Technology |
| H Social Sciences | U Military Science |
| J Political Science | V Naval Science |
| L Education | Z Library Science |
| K Law |
