Year

Abstract

The NLM Classication (NLMC) scheme was developed in 1946, using basic ideas from earlier schemes developed for organizing resources in support of teaching medicine and widely used in the USA for classifying information resources including pharmacy and pharmaceutics. Reports results of a study is to examine how the structure of the NLMC accomodates pharmaceutical literature and assess its adequacy, NLMC numbers assigned to 1.979 monographs with bibliographic records were examined. Analysis revealed that the structure of the NLMC brought together 42% of the literature in the sub-class QV 701-835 while another 41% was scattered throughout the NLMC scheme. Additionally, 17% was classified elsewhere in the LCC
