CATALOGING POLICY AND SUPPORT OFFICE
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CLASSIFICATION
Revised Subclass HM (Sociology)
The following revision of subclass HM, approved at the weekly CPSO editorial
meeting on February 3, 1999, replaces the former numbers HM1-299. The former
numbers will continue to be used only to class new continuations of serials
that are already classed in those numbers.
The text of this revised subclass will also be published in LC Classification:
Additions and Changes, List 273 (January-March 1999).
The Library of Congress began applying this revised subclass to newly
cataloged materials on February 8, 1999.
Sociology
Class here works that are primarily theoretical in
orientation. Class empiricial works, including
those limited to specific places, in HN.
Many topics provided for here represent concepts also
encompassed by the discipline of ethnology in GN301-
GN673. In cases of overlap, the following principle
should normally apply, unless specific instructions
are made to the contrary: Class here works that
deal principally with modern civilization. For
works that deal with the nature of human societies
in general, as well as works that deal specifically
with preliterate and/or folk societies, see GN301-
GN673.
