A '''library classification''' is a system used within a [[library]] to organize materials, including books, sound and video recordings, electronic materials, etc., both on shelves and in catalogs and indexes. Each item is typically assigned a call number, which identifies the ___location of the item within the system. Materials can be arrange by many different factors, typically in either a hierarchical tree structure based on the subject or using a [[faceted classification]]<ref>{{Cite book|last=Publius|first=Vergilius Maro|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/475463360|title=P.
