Usage

This template is used for referring to books by their Library of Congress Control Numbers. Enter the LCCN without any dashes or vertical bars between the numbers.

Examples

For example, to link 89-456, use:

{{LCCN|89456}} gives

• LCCN 89-456

and to link sa65-3567, use:

{{LCCN|sa653567}} gives

• LCCN sa65-3567

Additional parameters

You can use a second parameter to add a title.

{{LCCN|89456|Monarch butterflies}}

• LCCN 89-456 – Monarch butterflies

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

{{LCCN|89456|long=yes}} gives

• Catalog record for LCCN at the United States Library of Congress

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:

{{LCCN|89456|Monarch butterflies|long=yes}} gives

• Catalog record for Monarch butterflies at the United States Library of Congress
