JX IN THE 1995 EDITION OF CLASS J
In the 1995 edition of the Library of Congress
Classification, Class J: Political Science, all numbers in
subclass JX have been parenthesized. The statement is made on
the back cover and on the tab guide page (p. v) that subclass JX
is no longer applied at the Library of Congress. As explained in
the Preface, the Library of Congress is now in the final stages
of developing two new subclasses, JZ and KZ, for the literature
of international relations and public international law. These
new subclasses, when completed, will replace subclass JX. Until
that time, subclass JX will continue to be used at the Library of
Congress to classify new material, contrary to the statement on
the cover and on p. v.
