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.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Library Classification and Shelf Arrangement This work has been prepared to meet the requirements of those who are engaged or interested in the study of practical library methods. No English book on this subject has been issued since Edwards dealt with classifications generally in his Memoirs of Libraries, published in 1859; and the literature of the subject consists of little more than papers on single schemes. Classification has never been a strong point in British libraries, and this has arisen partly from apathy on the part of librarians, but also from the difficulty of obtaining information about American and foreign schemes which have been successfully applied to libraries. Leaving out of view Petzholdt's list of classifications contained in his Bibliotheca Bibliographica (1866), I have been unable to find that any single work devoted entirely to a systematic examination of schemes has ever been issued in any country. This little book has been prepared, accordingly, to fill a well-defined space in library literature; and however inadequate or slight the attempt may be, it is earnestly hoped that it will in some measure help to stimulate interest in the subject of classification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...as they are not books upon Chester or Canterbury. Therefore the form is Chester, The Cathedral Church of. Hiatt, C. 1897 Canterbury, The Church of St. Martin. Routledge, C. F. 1898 or in shorter fashion: Chester Cathedral. Hiatt, C. 1897 Canterbury, St. Martin's Church. Routledge, C. F. 1898 Upon the same principle a history of a London parish is not entered under "London," but under its particular name with a cross-reference from London to the places, as London. See also the names of parishes, as Chelsea, Kensington, Southwark, Westminster. Monographs upon buildings of national importance in foreign countries are however always entered under the name of the city where situated and not under the name of the building. Works upon St. Mark's, Venice, or Notre Dame de Paris being entered under Venice and Paris respectively, as Venice, St. Mark's. Paris, Notre Dame. To give heed to details of this kind is not "hairsplitting," as the novice may be disposed to imagine--it is the very essence of good cataloguing. Even with most careful attention the cataloguer may well congratulate himself if at the conclusion of his work, and especially when in print, it comes out faultless, because the perfect catalogue absolutely free from error has not yet been seen. CHAPTER IX. SUBJECT, TITLE, AND SERIES ENTRIES (continued). 86.--There remain other varieties of double or treble entries to consider. A book such as Baker, W. R. Intemperance the idolatry of Britain. 3rd ed. pp. 62. sm. 80. n.d. has no appearance of difficulty, as it is so obviously upon intemperance, but the question of concentration of books pro and con upon such a subject as this must be looked int0.

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.

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 Cataloging for Small Libraries The books of every library, no matter how small it may he, should be classified, preferably according to some well known system, like the Dewey Decimal classification, for example. It always saves time, confusion, and money in the long run, if a library is started on a proper basis. You may think you can do without this and that until some future time, but you will find that it pays in the end to get and to do the needful things in the very beginning. The time comes but too quickly when an imperfect, makeshift system overpowers you. DO not postpone too freely and too readily.
