Depending on your library, it may be any two of:
Library of Congress Classification
Dewey Decimal Classification
SuDocs Classification
NLM Classification
or others, even home-grown classification systems.

If your library is a federal depository library it almost certainly uses SuDocs for its collection of government documents.

If your library serves a medical school, it may use NLM (National Library of Medicine) classification for its medical collection.

It's not unusual for a library to use more than one classification system (ours uses four), and the easiest way to find out is to call the reference desk. They'll be happy to answer.
