Question:

Dos the library use the Congress system?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I guess you mean the Library of Congress classification system. Most public libraries and K-12 libraries in the US use the Dewey Decimal classification system. Most libraries in higher education use the Library of Congress classification system.
