I am in search of a platform that whould retrieve the DDC numbers for a book, when we entered the LOC numbers into it. Is there any such platform available over the web? My purpose is very simple. The LOC holds a great number of books in each and every subject areas, even in the regional languages and then assigned a LOC number to it. But in our library we follow the DDC system and we have a massive collection that are also available over the LOC. So if by somehow we can convert the LOC numbers into the DDC, the time spent on classifying a book can greatly be reduced.
Updation:
For Example "Aspect of Social customs of the Bodos" by "Dr. K. Brahma" is available over Classify at http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/ClassifyDemo?search-standnum-txt...= . From this site, I can get its LCC number as "DS432.B63". Now my problem is how I can convert the "DS432.B63" number into DDC?
1. This book available over Worldcat at: http://www.worldcat.org/title/aspects-of-social-customs-of-the-bodo...
2. Classification Web at : http://classificationweb.net/min/minaret?app=Session&mod=Login&...
I am not very much aware about the following sites
1. http://authorities.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=...
2. http://connexion.oclc.org/corc.html
3. http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/findhelprestype/catblhold/all/allcat.html ?
4. http://catalogue.bl.uk/F/AD26EKGXXEI9C4MIDYIRD6XPCYYAB5BTCA5IPR4TL5...

No idea about such a platform. But you can take DDC numbers from MARC records. MARC tag 082 stands for DDC number. It also specifies the DDC edition used for assigning that number.
For example, for the title "Medical terminology : a word-building approach"
| 082 | 00 |a 610.1/4 |2 22 |
|---|
610.1 is the DDC number and 22 is the DDC edition.
To learn about MARC codes visit MARC 21 http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
Hope this serves your purpose.

it's online service for DDC number
but need to buy.
i'm working in Agencies (Publishing house).
We deal with British Library books & use LOC Tag & they keep our agencies data in 670 tag.
There is another method also. In the LOC records somewhere or the other there might be ISBN number, just note down that number and go for the BRITISH COUNCIL INTEGRATED CATALOGUE and you will get the full details of the book including the DDC no. of that particular book. its a tidious work bacause you will have to check for each title in the LOC records of your library. I hope this method will solve the problem.
Is the URL of British Council Integrated Catalogue is http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/findhelprestype/catblhold/all/allcat.html ?
No the Correct URL of the British Council Integrated Cataglogue is
There you can See " SEARCH THE INTEGRATED CATALOGUE"
A new window will open whereby you can pur ISBN in the search box
In our library we are using UDC. Is there any linkage between UDC & LOC?
