Klasyfikacja Biblioteki Kongresu (KBK) - dziewiętnastowieczna klasyfikacja piśmiennictwa w bibliotece XXI wieku
Streszczenie
The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) – the nineteenth-century literary
classification in the library of twenty first century.
We looked for the signs of Library of Congress Classification in the polish library literary.
Till nineties of 20th century, papers on it were rather sketchy and didn’t initiate the essence of the
matter. Only then three polish academic libraries brought LCC into practice the descriptions
bringing us near to the principles of the Classification.
We deal with the case of bringing up to date LCC for example of the class H i s t o r y and
examine it’s reaction on the world political changes and on growth of literary on them. We
described modernizations in LCC relating to history of selected countries and regions in Europe,
Asia and Africa, to the history of Jews, Romanies and Gipsies.
In recapitulation we can say that the Library of Congress Classification still extends and it’s
texts and users treatment can change the way of work in the polish academic libraries.
