Abstract: The concept of a classified catalog, or using classification as a form of subject access,has been almost forgotten by contemporary librarians. Recent developments indicate that this is changing as libraries seek to enhance the capabilities of their online catalogs. The Western North Carolina Library Network (WNCLN) has developed a “classified browse” feature for its shared online catalog that makes use of Library of Congress classification. While this feature is not expected to replace keyword searching,it offers both novice and experienced library users another way of identifying relevant materials.
