Answer

The classifications are based on the categories for the OCLC Conspectus. For a title to be in "Unknown Classification", there would have to be no Dewey, LC, or NLM call number that is included in the Conspectus ranges. This classification table for the Conspectus lays out which call numbers are in the various categories.

 Note: You must have access to the OCLC Community Center in order to view the OCLC Conspectus. For more information, see Sign in to the OCLC Community Center.
