Child Study & Human Development (General)

Child Study and Human Development research is very interconnected with topics in other disciplines. However, class H of the Library of Congress classification system (the organization system of Tisch's physical collections) is devoted to Social Sciences, of which Child Study and Human development is one. Class L is dedicated to Education and class B is partially dedicated to Psychology, which are intertwined with much of Child Study and Human Development

Note: The Library of Congress classification and subject headings systems are large and complex systems subject to government approval, and as a result, sometimes the process to update the classifications and subject headings to their most current terms, especially those pertaining to race, gender, and sexuality, can be slow. Please feel free to ask a librarian more about how the classification and subject headings systems are structured, their biases, and current efforts to improve the terminology within them.
