<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

===Usage===
This template is used for referring to books by their [[Library of Congress Control Number]]s. Enter the LCCN without any dashes or vertical bars between the numbers.

===Examples===
For example, to link 89-456, use:<br/>

<code><nowiki>{{LCCN|89456}}</nowiki></code> gives
*{{LCCN|89456}}

and to link sa65-3567, use:<br/>

<code><nowiki>{{LCCN|sa653567}}</nowiki></code> gives
*{{LCCN|sa653567}}


;Additional parameters:

You can use a second parameter to add a title.

<code><nowiki>{{LCCN|89456|Monarch butterflies}}</nowiki></code>
*{{LCCN|89456|Monarch butterflies}}

By specifying <code>| long = yes</code>, you can also provide a more detailed output, especially for use in External Links sections:

<code><nowiki>{{LCCN|89456|long=yes}}</nowiki></code> gives
*{{LCCN|sa653567|long=yes}}

You can also use the second parameter to specify the book title if the page where the name of the article you're working on is not identical to the work you're citing. This is often true in the case of parenthetical disambiguation:

<code><nowiki>{{LCCN|89456|Monarch butterflies|long=yes}}</nowiki></code> gives
*{{LCCN|sa653567|Monarch butterflies|long=yes}}
