Communication Sources:  A Selected Bibliography: Library of Congress Classification Browser's List for Communication Majors

Library of Congress (LC) Classification is the system of call numbers used by The College of Wooster Libraries. Each call number is specific to one individual work. With the LC Classification system, each individual work is shelved together with other works on similar topics.  Therefore, knowing a call number range can help with browsing the collection by subject, particularly the book collection.

Below are some Library of Congress call number/classification areas that are specific to Communication topics.
