Catalogue Classified And Alphabetical

This book, first published in 1939, deals with the elements of classification and cataloguing from the school library point of view. The Dewey, Cheltenham and Bliss schemes are fully examined and there is a chapter on the practical application of classification in the library. There are simplified rules for Author and Title catalogues, while the different kinds of subject catalogues are compared, and instructions given for their compilation. Many practical examples of cataloguing entries are shown.

Alphabetical or classified; Alphabetico-specific entry; or, the dictionary catalogue; Classifications, notation, synthesis; Auxiliary notations and subheadings; Relative indexing, subject headings lists and central cataloguing; Mechanical selection and coordinate indexing; Fundamentals, foundings, and confoundings; Past, present, and future; Bibliosophy, and logic.

The official rules governing the arrangement of catalog cards and other bibliographic records in files are accompanied by numerous examples. These rules apply to the arrangement of bibliographic records of library materials whether displayed in card, book, or online format.
