1.What is different between Journal & Magazine?
Magazine or Journal? Some clues for telling the difference
Authorship:

Journal articles are written by experts in the field, and indicate the authors and their affiliations. Articles are usually reviewed and critically evaluated by a board of experts in the field (refereed). On the other hand, some magazine articles are not signed and are not evaluated by experts in the field, but by editors or staff .

Length:
Journal articles are usually longer articles, providing in-depth analysis of topics. Magazine articles are shorter and provide broader overviews of topics.

Language/Audience:
Journal articles are written in the jargon of the field for scholarly readers (professors, researchers, or students). Magazine articles are usually written in non-technical language for anyone to understand.

Method:
Journal articles often attempt to prove a thesis by experimentation or documentary evidence, are usually more structured, and may include these sections: abstract, literature review, methodology, results, conclusion, bibliography

Sources:
Journal articles always have bibliographies and/or footnotes listing sources consulted by the author(s).

Graphics:
Journal articles often include charts or graphics, but rarely include lots of glossy photographs or advertising.

Page Numbers:
Journal page numbers are usually sequential through all issues in a volume. Magazine pages numbers usually start over with each issue.

2. What is DC & LC classification?

A library classification is a system of coding and organizing library materials according to their subject and allocating a call number to that information resource. A different kind of classification system, called a faceted classification system, is also widely used which allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in multiple ways.

The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system of library classification developed by the Library of Congress. It is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries.
The classification was originally developed by Herbert Putnam in 1897, just before he assumed the librarianship of Congress. With advice from Charles Ammi Cutter and was specially designed for the special purposes of the Library of Congress. The new system replaced a fixed location system developed by Thomas Jefferson. By the time of Putnam's departure from his post in 1939, all the classes except K (Law) and parts of B (Philosophy and Religion) were well developed. You can see more in "The system"


The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC, also called the Dewey Decimal System) is a proprietary system of library classification developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876, and has been greatly modified and expanded through 22 major revisions, the most recent in 2004. This system organizes books on library shelves in a specific and repeatable order that makes it easy to find any book and return it to its proper place. The DDC attempts to organize all knowledge into ten main classes. The ten main classes are each further subdivided into ten divisions, and each division into ten sections, giving ten main classes, 100 divisions and 1000 sections.

"Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramintharamaha Chakri Borommanat Phra Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Thai: พระบาทสมเด็จพระปรมินทรมหาจักรีบรมนาถฯ พระพุทธยอดฟ้าจุฬาโลก; RTGS: —Phra Phuttha Yot Fa Chula Lok), posthumously added "the Great", or Rama I (20 March 1736 – 7 September 1809), was the founder and the first monarch of the current-ruling House of Chakri of Siam (now Thailand) in 1782, after subjugating a rebellion against King Taksin of Thonburi. He was also celebrated as the founder of Rattanakosin (now Bangkok) as the new capital of the reunited kingdom. Rama I was born in the Kingdom of Ayutthaya and had served King Taksin in wars with Burmese Konbaung dynasty and helped him in the reunification of Siam. During this time he emerged as Siam's most powerful military leader. In 1782, he took control of Siam and crowned himself as the monarch.
The most renowned event in his reign was the Burmese-Siamese War of 1785, which was the last major Burmese assault on Siam. Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke was also the first Somdet Chao Phraya, the highest rank the nobility could attain, equaled to that of royalty."
