library of congress call number subject coding

Hi folks,

Does anyone have a handy scheme for coding LC call numbers into just a few broad subject areas (e.g. Arts, Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences) or perhaps something only a little more granular than that?

I'm hoping for a list that will turn 1-3 letter LC classes into subject groups, and I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if someone's already got something.

Any leads?

Thanks
Ken
