Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cataloging for Small Libraries During the past ten years the author has lectured on the sub jcet of cataloging before many an audience of trained as well as untrained, experienced as well as inexperienced librarians of small libraries, students preparing for such work, trustees of small libraries, and others. The questions asked at such gatherings prove conclusively that the small library does not by any means presuppose a collection of simple books, as is too often taken for granted. If that were so, the simple directions given in the first edition of this work would need no amplification. Experience, however, has shown otherwise, and even trained librarians find themselves timidly doubtful at times in deciding a point, because lack of practice, experience and precedent are wanting to inspire the necessary confidence. Therefore, though this treatise is not intended to be at all dogmatic, I have attempted in this book to outline very fully, but in simple language, with not too embarrassing a number of illustrative examples, the best methods of treating various problems in cataloging, the complex as well as the simple ones, for the librarian of the small library who is ambitious to have her library a well cataloged one in as systematic, useful, yet economical a way as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Library Cataloguing Some years ago I prepared a Manual of Library Cataloguing, which met with more acceptance than was expected, and has been out of print for some time. Upon considering requests for a new edition, I concluded that a book upon somewhat different lines would be more likely to meet the present requirements of librarians and library assistants - this volume is the result. No pretence is made that the work is exhaustive or complete, but it is hoped that it will serve as a practical and useful introduction to the several codes of cataloguing rules. The statements made in it are not meant to be dogmatic, but they indicate the lines upon which good and accurate work is to be accomplished. As the illustrative examples were chosen from every-day books, and are worked out as simply as possible, they should be found useful by beginners; especially in preparing for the examinations of the Library Association in this subject. I am indebted to my friend Mr. Frank Pacy, City Librarian of Westminster, for reading my proofs and suggesting many improvements, although I am sure he would not care to accept responsibility for all the views expressed or the mode of expressing them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Library Cataloguing Generally I find a library catalogue is assumed to be a thing that is somehow 'made' at a single stroke, as Aladdin's palace was built, at intervals of ten or a dozen years, or whenever a 'new catalogue is thought to be needed, instead of, as he proceeds to show, being a never' ending work calling for the exercise of all the power and knowledge at the command of the cataloguer.

Download or read book Buying List of Books for Small Libraries Classic Reprint written by Zaidee Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buying List of Books for Small Libraries As the following list is intended merely as an aid in buying, regular cataloging rules have not been followed. It should there fore not be used as a guide for the form of the author's name. When there is a choice, the best known form of the author's name or a well-known pseudonym is used. In this edition there is no change from the character of the first list. The same general arrangement is retained and in most cases the same subject headings used. Every class is thoroughly revised and while there is a slight increase in the number of titles in sociology, science, useful arts and amusements, it results in a net increase of but 78 titles in the entire list. The fewest changes are in the list of children's books. One or two good inexpensive editions of standard books are added and some of the strikingly good stories of the past two years included. In a small library it is not important to buy the very latest child's story. To buy the best must be the aim of a library in the purchase of its children's books.

Book excerpt: Completely updated, with a new section on using the computer in the cataloging function, this new edition of a classic will be a welcome tool for the volunteer or paraprofessional in a small library.

Even the world of the small library is startlingly complex Hoffman's guide will simplify it. Reviews of previous editions: 'Hoffman's guide to simplified cataloging practice will be a great help_this handbook lays out the options of collection organization clearly and in everyday language.' -Booklist 'Because of its emphasis on fundamentals, rigorous reasoning, and its readable style, the book is also helpful for library school students as well as for practicing librarians.' -Reference & Research Book News '_will provide its intended reader, the nonprofessional or volunteer in charge of a small library, with solid, well-organized information necessary to catalog a collection systematically.'

Download or read book Practical Handbook of Modern Library Cataloging Classic Reprint written by William Warner Bishop and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Handbook of Modern Library Cataloging In setting examinations in library science, including cataloging, for the United States Civil Service Commission for several years, I was constantly struck by the absence in our professional literature of any manual of the actual practice of cataloging. There are numerous codes of rules and articles on the theory of cataloging. But something which should tell a student of library administration just what has to be done under modem conditions and why it should be done seemed lacking. I have accordingly written this brief handbook in an endeavor to supply this need. To librarians and catalogers trained in their work by long years of service much of what is here set forth will doubtless seem very obvious and commonplace. I have had constantly in mind two sorts of persons by whom librarians have been much besought for years past for information as to "how to do it." One group - and by far the larger - is composed of young people entering on the professional study of library processes either in library schools or without formal instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Catalogue a Library Another vulgar error is that cataloguers form a guild, with secrets which they wish to keep from the public. This is a grievous mistake. The main Object Of the good cataloguer should be to make the consultation Of his work easy. He knows the difficulties, and knows that rules must be made to overcome these difficulties but he does not care to mul tiply these rules more than is absolutely necessary. The good cataloguer will try to put himself into the place Of the intelligent consulter - that is, the person who brings ordinary intelligence to bear upon the catalogue, but has not, neces sarily, any technical knowledge. Some persons seem to think that everything is to be brought down to the comprehension Of the fool but if by doing this we make4 flow to Catalogue a Library.
