Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book combines an overview of the subject of cataloguing with an introduction to common cataloguing procedures. It begins by exploring the genesis of card catalogues as a replacement for earlier methods, such as slips pasted onto cards or handwritten entries. The book traces the evolution of the card catalogue towards systems using mechanical fittings and electric lighting, and then describes the various types of furniture, cards, and mechanisms that make up a modern catalogue. The author then examines the three different types of cards commonly used â" printed, typed, and handwritten â" before addressing the various cataloguing styles, such as anonymous versus author-based, and the application of cataloguing rules for biographical entries, series, and books in various formats. The book concludes with examinations of subject cards, both general and analytical, and the use of references to aid consultation of the catalogue. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332109364_0
