The LC system is used to organize library materials in many academic and university libraries throughout the world. As well as other science and technology research libraries, LIS has been challenged by the emergence of new sciences and technologies which have grown so fast. The LC system is a flexible system which can extend its classification numbers to support the mentioned requirements.
