Classification Sources
INTRODUCTION
Classification Sources contains a list of works which are sources of
classification schemes, along with the code assigned to each source work. The
purpose of this list is to allow the source of the classification number or span
of numbers given in MARC records to be designated by a code.
Arrangement of the List
Entries in the following list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code
and consist of the source code followed by the bibliographic citation for the
source work or scheme. Additional information about the source work may appear
in an italicized note following the citation.
Source codes are limited in use to specific fields. In the following list,
source codes are grouped under the field in which the codes may be used. Source
codes which may be used in more than one field are repeated under each field in
which they may be used.
Code Structure
The code assigned to the work consists of a maximum of eight lowercase
alphabetic characters. For many classification schemes of states of the United
States, the source code consists of the U.S. Postal Service abbreviation for the
state as the first two characters, followed by other letters identifying the
specific scheme. For government document classifications schemes "docs" follows
the first two characters. For other sources, the entire code may be based on the
title of the work or scheme.
The code may be followed by the edition or date of publication of the source
work. The code is separated from the edition or date by a slash (/). Omission of
the year or edition will imply that the assigning institution used the most
recent edition of the source work available. For example:
- msdocs/1975
- Mississippi state government publications, published 1975

The Canadian and United States government document classification schemes are
not assigned codes in this list, instead, specific indicator values have been
defined for each to identify the source of the classification number. MARC field

Documents Classification System; value 1 is used to identify the
Government of Canada, Outline of Classification.
