Columbia's Hierarchical
Interface to LC Classification (HILCC) uses
the LC Classification numbers provided
in standard catalog records to generate
a structured menuing system and
and A-Z topical list for subject
access on the web. The HILCC
call number map — jointly developed
and maintained by the Libraries
Digital Program Division and
cataloging and reference staff — links
each LC classification range with
entry vocabulary in a three-or 4-level
subject tree, for example:
| LC
Range: |
GN 301.0000 -
GN 674.9990 |
| Maps to: |
Social Sciences -- Anthropology
-- Ethnology |
