Classify is being discontinued on 31 January 2024.
(Share with us, if you know any freely available online classification scheme/websites)
As we know Classify by OCLC has been providing free services for an experiment of DDC and LCC classification on web. Using title, author, ISBN/ISSN we can search book and non-book materials on its website, and found classification number, subject headings and other catalogue details of the items which are already being catalogued in WorldCat. Now days, alert notification appears on the website of classify: An experimental classification web service (https://classify.oclc.org/classify2/) regarding discontinue of the cataloguing/classification services available on this website. After discontinue of this services what have we do next for the same? Let's discuss about it.
The notification also mentioned that "OCLC Cataloging and Metadata subscribers can use WorldShare Record Manager or the WorldCat Metadata API, available as part of the subscription, to perform similar searches to find classification numbers".
Not an OCLC Cataloging and Metadata subscriber?
Form the above mentioned notification it has been clear that OCLC has no more free services for us. We have to subscribe OCLC Cataloging and Metadata with payment basis. If you have any new idea regarding freely available online classification scheme/websites, feel free to share with us in the comment box.
