The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, newspapers, maps and manuscripts in its collections. The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) provides an alphabetical listing of authorized or preferred terms established by the Library of Congress since 1898. 2. *NLM *(National Library of Medicine) NLM is the central coordinating body for clinical terminology standards within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of the United States. The genesis of the NLM Classification is a Survey Report on the Army Medical Library, published in 1944, which recommended that the “(medical) Library be reclassified according to a modern scheme," and that the new scheme be a mixed notation (letters and numbers) resembling that of the Library of Congress. The National Library of Medicine Classification covers the field of medicine and related sciences, utilizing schedules QS-QZ and W-WZ, permanently excluded from the Library of Congress (LC) Classification schedules. 3. *RDA *(Resource Description and Access) RDA was launched in 2010 and is a new standard for resource description and access, designed for the digital world. RDA has been developed to replace the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd Edition Revised, which were first published in 1978. Changes were made to the MARC 21 format to accommodate RDA elements. The British Library implemented RDA 1st April 2013 and coordinated implementation of RDA with national and international partners. 4. *MARC *(MAchine-Readable Cataloging) MARC standards are a set of digital formats for the description of items catalogued by libraries, such as books. Working with the Library of Congress, American computer scientist Henriette Avram developed MARC in the 1960s to create records that could be read by computers and shared among libraries. By 1971, MARC formats had become the US national standard for dissemination of bibliographic data. Two years later, they became the international standard. There are several versions of MARC in use around the world, the most predominant being MARC 21, created in 1999 as a result of the harmonization of U.S. and Canadian MARC formats, and UNIMARC, widely used in Europe. 5. *UNIMARC* The UNIMARC format was first published in 1977. The primary purpose of UNIMARC is to facilitate the international exchange of bibliographic data in machine-readable form between national bibliographic agencies. The scope of UNIMARC is to specify the content designators (tags, indicators and subfield codes) to be assigned to bibliographic records in machine-readable form and to specify the logical and physical format of the records. It covers monographs, serials, cartographic materials, music, sound recordings, graphics, projected and video materials, rare books and electronic resources. 6. *MARC 21* MARC 21 was designed to redefine the original MARC record format for the 21st century and to make it more accessible to the international community. MARC 21 has formats for the following five types of data: Bibliographic Format, Authority Format, Holdings Format, Community Format, and Classification Data Format.[2] Currently MARC 21 has been implemented successfully by The British Library, the European Institutions and the major library institutions in the United States, and Canada. 7. *MARCEdit* An open source system for manipulating and checking MARC records, created by US librarian Terry Reese in 1999 and maintained by him. 8. *KBART *(Knowledge Base and Related Tools) The KBART initiative, commissioned by NISO and UKSG, created at set of guidelines in order to help share metadata about electronic materials between publishers, link resolvers, and libraries. The result of these guidelines was KBART files, which include full title, issn, and other information about specific publications. KBART files are the industry standard file format for knowledgebase, and providing title list files in this format Link resolvers and librarians can download and use these files in order to update their records and holdings and ensure that end users have accurate information about accessible materials. 9. *DDC (23) *(Dewey Decimal Classification) The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system first published in the United States by Melvil Dewey in 1876. It has been revised and expanded through 23 major editions, the latest issued in 2011, and has grown from a four-page pamphlet in 1876. It is also available in an abridged version suitable for smaller libraries. It is currently maintained by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), a non-profit cooperative that serves libraries. -- Dr. V.
