Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN)

Description

The Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) is a number used to catalog records at the United States Library of Congress. This identifier is used by librarians worldwide to catalog books published in the United States, enabling them to access accurate cataloging data made available by the Library of Congress and other third parties via the web and other media.

The Library of Congress reserves the right to refuse cataloging specific titles. They do not issue catalog numbers for books under 50 pages, unless they are children’s books. Also, they don’t list materials like coloring books, comic books, and books with pictures.

To make your book more accessible to librarians and book vendors, consider obtaining an LCCN. When you purchase an LCCN through us, your book will be cataloged and linked to the Library of Congress, national libraries, bibliographic utilities, and other book vendors, making it easier to find. This unique identifier facilitates access to accurate cataloging data provided by the Library of Congress and other sources.

Bookllo Publishing is authorized to obtain Library of Congress Control Numbers. When you purchase this service, we will coordinate with the Library of Congress to obtain a control number for your title, which will be printed on the copyright page inside your book. This service can be purchased with our self-publishing package or separately.

Disclaimer: The prices listed do not include the cost of copies of the book, shipping and handling.
