Instructions for Applying Table G
Table G is a cutter system of notations that provides geographical or jurisdictional arrangement of materials under specific class numbers in the Legal Index Classification. The use of the Geograhpic Table permits a shelving order which is controlled geographically and alphabetically. Table G is applied only when a class number heading is annotated by.” When LC Classification numbers are used, the geographical breakdown or tables provided in the LC schedules are applied.
The geographic tables of the NLM Classification consist of nine geographic regions. Additionally, special provision is made for international agencies that frequently publish materials related to medicine. Each region or group is identified by a letter.
