Have you ever been at the reference desk and wanted to browse the LoC classification outline (LCCO), but found the official LoC.gov page unwieldy (https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/)? Maybe you've wished that you could search for topics across all LCCO classes without having to open up each PDF and search within based on your best guess of where to look. Well, you're in luck because as some of you already know I've built a simple web app that lets you browse and search the LCCO within a convenient internal LibGuide (https://uncg.libguides.com/lcco).
It's currently in what I'd call an alpha state, but should already be helpful. I wanted to share it to start gathering feedback on how it could be improved. Also, the data is loaded programmatically, so I do expect to find oddities that need correction. Hope you find it helpful!
