If you do visit a Federal Depository Library, chances are that you will not find their government information organized by the Dewey Decimal classification system -- or the Library of Congress classification system. Instead, you may encounter the "SuDocs" classification system. SuDocs is named from the Superintendent of Documents -- the person and office who heads the Federal Depository Library Program portion of GPO.
The SuDocs system classifies government publications by the agencies (and offices within an agency) who issue a particular publication. A SuDocs number begins with one or two letters which stand for the issuing agency. For example, publications issued by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture begin with the letter "A" -- those issued by the Dept. of Defense begin with the letter "D" -- those issued from the Dept. of Interior begin with the letter "I" etc.
After the letter(s), a SuDocs number will then contain arbitrary numbers which represent offices or sub-agencies within the main agency. For example, publications from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's Forest Service will be classified and shelved with a stem that starts out A 13. Publications issued by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will begin with a stem of A 101. Publications issued by the Dept. of Interior's Geological Survey will begin with a stem of I 19.Publications issued by the Dept. of Interior's National Park Service will begin with a stem of I 29.
The Dewy Classification System is how libraries sort out all the books.

Non-Fiction books are classified by being divided into predetermined subject groups, according to the classification system being used by a library. The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system consists of ten main subject groups (called categories), which ranges from 000 to 999 (e.g. 020.11). The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system uses an alphanumeric scheme, which ranges from A to Z (e.g. PZ7.J684 Wj 1982).
The Library of Congress, which is the largest library in the world, uses the Library of Congress Classification System to classify and arrange it's books. This classification system, which was created by Herbert Putnam in 1897, is also used by most academic and research libraries both within and outside of the US.
The two library classification systems are: The Dewey Decimal Classification System and the Library of Congress Classification System. hope this helped :P
