Supply Chain Management Research: Find Background Info

Credo is a library database containing digital versions of encyclopedias and other reference works. Think of it as an academic Wikipedia, only curated by librarians instead of the general public.

Academic and research libraries typically use Library of Congress Classification (LCC) to organize their print materials, which means books on the same subject should be next to or near each other on the shelf. This information can be used to find books in person or via the Library Catalog.

Example LCC call number ranges:

• HD28-70 Management. Industrial management
• HF5410-5417.5 Marketing. Distribution of products
• HF5761-5780 Shipment of goods. Delivery of goods
• TS155-194 Production management. Operations management

Example LCC subject headings:

• Business logistics
  • Inventory control
  • Marketing--Management
  • Materials management
  • Physical distribution of goods
  • Shipment of goods
• Industrial procurement--Management
