    Resolution 

    If the call number is not recognized by the Library of Congress, it is displayed as Unknown. The Analytics LC Classification follows the Library of Congress Classification Outline, found here: https://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/c...fication/lcco/ 

    Call numbers can also display as Unknown if the formatting is incorrect. For example, if the call number is cataloged with a space between the classification code and number (e.g., PR 830 instead of PR830), the classification will not be recognized and will display as Unknown.
