The OCLC "Classify" website has mentioned that it will be discontued after the 31st January 2024.
This is the message from OCLC :-
OCLC Cataloging and Metadata subscribers can use WorldShare Record Manager or the WorldCat Metadata API, available as part of the subscription, to perform similar searches to find classification numbers.
I wonder if the field for Class Number is necessary?

I've brought up this question in a couple of threads since I started seeing the notifcation a few months ago. No real info as yet. Maybe once people are no longer able to use OCLC for looking up the codes the mods might make a call or provide an alternative resource. I know some books have them printed in the copyright page (especially those with the Library of Congress publication data) but obviously that's a relative few examples.
