Dear Satish
Many libraries published their catalogues on Internet.
These OPAC contains complete metadata including
class numbers (most according to DDC or LOC)
for their collections in MARC format.
Try to collect information /class numbers
from these sites.

Dear members,
Classification of books is one of the basic activity of any library.
Does anyone has the information of a site where in you give the title of a
book and get the tentative or nearest class number(s) of standard
classification systems in tabular format or series. The input is not
necessarily the exact book title... even PMEST of the title. (Dr.
Ranganathan's scheme). If it is available it will be of immense use for
all classifiers.
Because it's not possible for smaller to medium sized libraries to procure
every updated edition of Classification schedules what they are following
which are very expensive and above all it ease the work load of library
staff.
If not such site is available does anyone has the information on any
project that is going on in this direction.
