EXPLANATIONS.

The t.i.tles of the subject catalogue are exact transcriptions of the t.i.tle page, neither amended, translated, or in any way altered, except that mottoes, t.i.tles of authors, repet.i.tions, or matter of any kind not essential to a clear t.i.tular description, are _omitted_. Omissions of mottoes are indicated by three stars (* * *); of other matter by three dots (...). The phraseology, spelling, and punctuation of the t.i.tle are exactly copied; but capitals are given only to proper names and adjectives, and initial words of sentences. Any additions needed to make the t.i.tle clear are supplied and enclosed by brackets.

After the t.i.tles, are given in order: the place of publication; the year; the year of copyright, if different, in brackets; the edition; the number of volumes, or of pages if in only one volume; the ill.u.s.trations, maps, plates, or portraits; and the size nearest in the arbitrary scale, regardless of the fold of the sheet. This scale gives the heights in decimeters. Square and oblong books have the size prefixed by _sq_. or _ob_. Books 1 decimeter high are called 32; 1.5 deci., 16; 2 deci., 12; 2.5 deci., 8; 3 deci., 4; and all others are marked simply by the nearest height, i.e. a book marked 4 is between 3.5 and 4.5 decimeters high. In books having more than one pagination the number of pages is indicated by giving the last number of each pagination connected by a +; an added + indicates additional matter unpaged.

These imprint entries give the facts regardless of the t.i.tle page, and are left blank only when they can be ascertained neither from the book itself or other sources.

The contents of volumes are given when on t.i.tle pages, or when necessary to properly identify the volume, but no a.n.a.lysis is attempted. Necessary notes are given at the bottom of the subject card after the imprint entries.

Duplicates are simply marked copy 2, copy 3, etc., and bear the same cla.s.s and book number, but editions of the same book distinct in character are catalogued separately.

In all the catalogues, books are entered under the _surnames_ of authors when known; under the _initials_ of author's names, when these only appear, the last initial being put first; under the _pseudonyms_ of the writers, when the real names are not ascertained; under the names of _editors_ of collections; under the names of _countries, cities, societies,_ or other _bodies_ which are responsible for their publication; under the _first word_ not an article of the t.i.tles of periodicals and of anonymous books the names of whose authors are not ascertained. _Commentaries_ with the text, and _translations_ are entered under the heading of the original work, but commentaries without the text are entered under the name of the _commentator_. The Bible or any part of it in any language is entered under the word _Bible_. Books having more than one author are entered under the first named on the t.i.tle.

In the headings of t.i.tles, the names of authors are given in their vernacular form. In English and French surnames beginning with a prefix (except the French de and d') the name is recorded under the prefix. In other languages and in French names beginning with de and d', the name is recorded under the word following the prefix. Compound surnames are entered under the first part of the name. n.o.blemen and ecclesiastical dignitaries are entered under their family names, but _sovereigns, princes, oriental writers, friars, persons canonized_, and all other persons known _only_ by their first name, are entered under this first name.

The catalogue is not a biographical dictionary, so only gives the names of authors with sufficient fullness to distinguish them from each other in practical use.

Names in =full face type= are the ruling headings under which the books are entered in the various catalogues. Entries not beginning with this type are in addition to the first or main entry, and are made under the names of _translators, editors, commentators, continuators_, etc., as partic.i.p.ators in the authors.h.i.+p; also in the case of books having more than one author, or having both generic and specific t.i.tles, or published by societies or other bodies, and having also the name of the individual author. These additional entries are made in order to carry out the plan of the Authors' Catalogue, which aims to give under each author's name all his works which the library contains.

The works of an author known by more than one name are given all together, under the form of name chosen. Any other name or t.i.tle by which he may be known, if it differs in the first three letters, is entered in its alphabetical place, followed by the word _see_ and the name under which the books are entered. Such cross references have no t.i.tles given under them, but are simply guides to the name chosen.

A single dash indicates the omission of the preceding heading; a subsequent dash indicates the omission of a subordinate heading or of a t.i.tle. A dash connecting numbers signifies _to and including_; following a number it signifies _continuation_. A ? following a word or entry signifies _probably_. Brackets enclose words added to t.i.tles or changed in form.

The German diphthongs a, o, u are written, ae, oe, ue.

Dates are all given in years of the common calendar, and Arabic numerals are uniformly used for all numbers.

SUBJECT CATALOGUE.

The Subject Catalogue on large cards can be used to advantage only with the aid of the _Cla.s.sification_ or _Index_. To find what the library has on any given subject, get from the Index the cla.s.s number of that subject. Under this number in the Subject Catalogue will be found the full t.i.tles of the books, with imprints, cross references, and notes. The cla.s.s number, by which the cards are arranged, is given in the upper left corner and immediately under it is the book number. Any other cla.s.s number given in the left hand margin refers to another subject of which the book also treats. When the cla.s.s number at the top is followed by an additional figure in brackets, the subject as given in the printed scheme has been subdivided in arranging the cards. This subdivision will be found on the first card of the catalogue which bears this cla.s.s number.

These figures in brackets determine the arrangement of the t.i.tles in the Catalogue, but on the shelves, in the Shelf Catalogue, and in calling for and charging books, they are entirely disregarded. Thus a book numbered 942(7).14 would be in the Catalogue among the 942 cards arranged by the figure in brackets as though it were a decimal, but it would be called for as 942.14, the brackets indicating that the final cla.s.sing was limited to the Catalogue and was not extended to the shelves. If a fourth figure is added without brackets, the final cla.s.sing is extended to the shelves as well as to the catalogue, and all the figures must be used in calling for the book. In such cases the added figure is treated as a decimal in the arrangement, though the decimal point is not written.

The last card which bears any cla.s.s number, gives under that number, followed by the word SEE the call numbers of other books which treat of the same subject, but are cla.s.sed elsewhere. General cross references are also made in many cases without specifying individual books, as from _Commerce_ as a question of SOCIAL SCIENCE (380) to _Commerce_ as a USEFUL ART, Book-keeping Business Manuals, etc. (650). In such cases there is a card under 380 marked SEE 650, and under 650 there is a card marked SEE 380. From whatever stand-point a subject is approached, the cross references guide at once to the same subject treated in its other relations. These cross references both general and specific are often accompanied by brief notes, characterizing the books to which reference is made.

There will be found at the beginning of many cla.s.s numbers, a card noting the most reliable books on that subject, and the best of the articles in periodicals, transactions, and collected works with the volume and page where they may be found. It is hoped to give special prominence to these notes for the guidance of readers, and they will be added as rapidly as other duties allow.

Many subjects will have no sub-section cards at the beginning; some will have no reference cards at the end; and some may have no t.i.tles given under the number. The scheme provides a place for books on all subjects, whether the library has them or not, so where no t.i.tles are given under a cla.s.s number it shows that the library has as yet no books on that subject.

Articles in periodicals and transactions, separate volumes of sets and collections which are located together, _if catalogued_ are put under their proper subject number, but no _book number_ is given with it. The call number of the book, where they may be found, is always given in the margin preceded by the word IN. In the same way special chapters in books will sometimes be catalogued, _e.g._ a card marked 338 IN 331-27, would mean that in the 27 books on 331, _Capital and Labor_, there was a chapter on 338, _Production_.
