Usage

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/doc 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
