  5. Science
  6. Technology

  10. Education
  11. Law
  12. Military science
  13. Political science

  15. Commerce
  16. Public administration
  17. Social and public welfare
  18. Medicine

Within each main class, there are many subclasses that allow for more specific organization and classification of materials. The LCC system is used by many libraries around the world, particularly in the United States, to organize and classify their materials in a way that makes it easy for patrons to find what they are looking for.
