Abstract

The card catalogue has as its prime objective the provision of multiple access points to the library's collection. To achieve this objective, card entries are made by author, title and subject headings. Within the main body of the catalogue card, other items of information are included in varying amounts of detail by librarians to aid the reader in locating and identifying a given material he may wish to consult within the library's holdings.
