	Library of Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Library of Congress was established on April 24, 1800, when President John Adams signed an act of Congress providing for the transfer of the seat of government from Philadelphia to the new capital city of Washington.
		The Library developed a system of book classification called Library of Congress Classification (LC) which is used by most research and university libraries, although most public libraries continue to use the Dewey decimal system.
		The Library of Congress also provides an on-line archive of the proceedings of the U.S. Congress at Thomas, including bill text, Congressional Record text, bill summary and status, the Congressional Record Index, and the United States Constitution.

	Library of Congress Classification in a New Setting
		Although in American libraries classification was used primarily as a shelving and location device offering limited subject access through shelf browsing in the manual environment, it has been proven a useful retrieval tool also in online systems that offer sophisticated browsing and searching functions.
		LCC and LCSH, with their improved capacities for keeping up to date, and their wide accessibility via the Library's own electronic tools, can become effective systems for organizing the whole spectrum of current literature, wherever, and in whatever form, it resides.
		The result of the "departmentalized" approach of LCC is that individual classes or parts of the scheme—such as the classifications of law, religion, art, and cartographic materials, to name a few—can be adopted as stand-alone, specialized schemes or serve as models for developing such schemes.
