LIXindexet

LIXindexet is a comprehensive index of literary works, primarily focusing on English-language literature. It was created by the Library of Congress in the United States and is maintained by the Library's Cataloging Distribution Service. The index is designed to provide a standardized way of identifying and cataloging literary works, making it easier for librarians, researchers, and the general public to locate and access these works.

The LIXindexet includes a wide range of literary works, from classic literature to contemporary publications. It covers various genres, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and drama. Each entry in the index includes detailed information about the work, such as the author's name, the title of the work, the publication date, and the edition. This information is crucial for cataloging and retrieval purposes.

One of the key features of the LIXindexet is its use of standardized codes and identifiers. Each literary work is assigned a unique identifier, known as a Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN). This number is used to track and manage the work within the Library's cataloging system. Additionally, the index uses standardized codes to categorize works by genre, subject, and other relevant criteria.

The LIXindexet is an essential tool for librarians and catalogers, as it provides a consistent and reliable source of information for cataloging literary works. It also serves as a valuable resource for researchers and the general public, offering a comprehensive and accessible way to explore the world of literature. The index is continually updated and expanded to include new works and reflect changes in the literary landscape.
