The primary object has been to furnish to the librarians of the small libraries in remote districts, where there is small opportunity to come in contact with well equipped libraries or sources of information relating to library technique, a guide to the best Quality of supplies and technical equipment necessary for the effective administration of their libraries. “Not the few great libraries, but the many small ones,” well organized, well furnished and well equipped, will be strong factors in the educational development of the twentieth century. Those tech- nical appliances which will render more efficient the work of these institutions or give greater ease in their administration, are direct contributions to the educational movement. To those who feel that their needs are greater than can be supplied adequately from this catalog, we shall be glad to render further assistance, or to send such further information as they may feel their situation demands. - Library Bureau 1933.33 Simplified Library Catalog A to Z guide cards. See Catalog guides. Abridged decimal classification. See Decimal classification. Accession books. The accession book is used to record the books as property of the library. It is ruled for descriptive data of them, giving complete identification. It is an important business record, and affords a basis for a valuation of the contents of the library. In form and sizes adopted as standard by the American Library Association (the A. L. A. Standard and the Condensed accession book) printed on best ledger paper, with strongest binding obtainable, these books will withstand the severe tests of hard usage and time. Half numbered books have the units and tens printed and repeated throughout, the 100's and 1000's being added as entries are made. Full numbered books have the 100’s and 1000’s printed in the volume on every 5th and 10th line. The name of the library is printed on the side of the accession books without charge. Condensed accession book. Of similar form to the Standard accession book, but with narrower columns. It is of convenient size both to use and to store. The Condensed accession book has been widely adopted for use in libraries of every size. 20 x 25 cm., twenty-five lines on a page.

A scheme giving to each work its own exclusive book number, so arranged that “the books stand on the shelves alphabetically by authors under each subject.” It not only brings together upon the shelves all of an author's works upon one subject, but allows of still closer arrangement by date or by alphabetic arrangement under title, as desired. Devised by the late C. A. Cutter, librarian of Forbes library, North- ampton, Massachusetts, it has grown from use in one library to a wide adoption in others, as a satisfactory solution of one of the problems of close classification. This table is recommended for libraries having less than 5000 volumes. The tables are mounted on boards, strongly hinged together and fold compactly. 1880. 1036 (13b) Mounted, postpaid. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .* * * * * * $ 1.25 Cutter three-figure decimal alphabetic order table.

Dama; 149 p. ; il. This little volume is intended as a help to librarians in testing bindings and in getting satisfactory workmanship and material from binders. The book contains a very good description of the best methods of binding, and a great amount of valuable information on rebinding, paper making, leather, Specifications for binding, and an alphabetical list of technical terms. It gives not only Sugges- tions as to the actual binding and repairing of books, but gives points which will help the inexperienced librarian to decide whether or not a book is worth rebind- ing or repairing, and just what to do with it in case it is not. "The committee cordially commends ‘Notes on bookbinding for libraries' to all librarians. We believe if its advice is followed the library bookbinding of the country will be enormously improved.”—-A.

These consist of cabinets, with complement of cards and guides. It will be seen from the following prices that complete outfits can be bought cheaper than cards and cabinets separately. In ordering, specify what ruling and weight of cards is desired, as shown under head of catalog cards. Also whether cabinets should be spe- cially finished to match other woodwork. In absence of such specifications our Standard, or light antique oak finish as shown on insert will be fur- nished. Prices given on outfits include both Library Bureau standard and Com- mercial grade cards. The Standard card is the one recommended for use, as it is made specially for library work and is “Standard” throughout the world for this purpose. The Commercial grade card is offered where limitation in original cost is more important than durability. While not equal to our Standard grade cards, these Commercial grade cards are superior to any other card stock on the market. Single desk tray outfit.

The expense of compiling a catalog is so much greater than the cost of the materials used, that the utmost durability in the latter is economy. Library Bureau standard cards are pure linen stock specially manufactured from our own formula. Each lot is analyzed chemically to guard against adulter- ation and specially to detect any presence of wood sulphite which is contained in most cards not so manufactured, and which causes rapid deterioration with use and exposure to light. Size of catalog cards was one of the first topics considered by the Ameri- can Library Association in 1876 and the discussion continued until the following recommendations were established : (1) Metric measurements should be used to obtain a greater degree of exactness and uniformity than was possible in inches. (2) The sizes of cards adopted and designated as standard were 5 x 12.5 cm. and 7.5 x 12.5 cm. (3) The latter size proved so satisfactory in all library records, and in addition having been adopted by the United States government as the size for postal cards, that it has taken first rank as standard. Library Bureau maintains A. L. A. standard sizes in all its material. L. B. cards are cut with special machinery, invented and patented by Library Bureau, which insures absolute accuracy and a perfect edge on each card. Exactness in size is essential in cards for catalog purposes as any variation prevents accurate and rapid handling. Cards cut by ordinary machinery or dies cannot be satisfactorily handled because of the various kinds of edges produced. Library Bureau standard cards are made in three weights. L, or light- weight, being the thinnest card practical for cataloging use. R, or heavy-weight, being one-half heavier than the L weight and recommended by authorities for cataloging purposes. X, or extra heavy weight, being double the L weight and used where the utmost permanency is required. Commercial grade. Where strict economy in original cost is more important than durability, cards of our Commercial grade may be used. These are manu- factured with the same regard to uniformity of size and composition as our stand- ard grade and of good linen stock. This grade of card is superior to any other card stock on the market, aside from L. B. standard grade. A quantity discount of five per cent. will be allowed on orders amounting to 10,000 cards, and of ten per cent. on orders amounting to 20,000 cards. These discounts apply to both Library Bureau standard and Commercial grade cards. Unless otherwise specified, cards will be furnished with the round punch shown in the illustration on the following page, and of white stock. Cards of other colors and punchings can be supplied when desired. In ordering use the catalog number, and for the sake of accuracy write out the kind of ruling and name of card.

See Book card. Charging system. The charging system is necessary in every library for keeping an accurate account of its borrowers and the books they take out and should show, with the least possible expenditure of time and labor, the whereabouts of every piece of library property loaned, with the name and address of the person responsible for it, and the date for its return. Approved Library Bureau system. Long experience in dealing with the needs of libraries, large and small, leads to the recommendation of this system, because of its economy both in first cost and in the time of the attendant, as well as its simplicity and exactness of record. This system consists in the use of (1) a borrower's card for each person entitled to draw books, (2) a card pocket for each book, (3) a book card (charg- ing card) for each book, (4) guide cards printed with the days of the month to show due books, (5) a charging case or receptacle with date guides for holding the book cards of the books which are out, and (6) a book or cards for registra- tion of borrowers. Charging system—continued. The borrower's card is the key note of this system, placing definite responsibility in the care of public property, on every card holder. The borrower's card bears his name, address, registry number and any other data the library may choose to put on it, with spaces for charging the books borrowed. The book pocket, preferably the Acme No. 1165, for holding the card be- longing to the book when it is in the library, should be pasted on the inside of the front cover so that the cards cannot slip out in handling the book. The borrower’s card can be stored in the book pocket while the book is in his possession. Each book card, often called charging card, represents a book. The call numbers, the author and title of the book are writ- ten on it. It is ruled for the entries nec- essary to charge borrowed books. Library Rules. I Library hours A.

The borrower presents his card, together with a call slip (1161) giving the number of the book wanted; the book is found on the shelf, the charg— ing card is taken from the card pocket, and the number of the borrower and date is placed thereon, the date being stamped also on the borrower's card; the bor- rower's card is then placed in the card pocket, and the book and his card deliv- ered to him. The charging card, at a convenient time, is placed in the charging case, next to a guide card showing when the book is due, and forms the record of the fact that that book is out of the library, having been taken by borrower No. On returning the book, the borrower again presents his card with the book, the charging card is taken from the case, both are stamped with the date returned, the charging card placed in the card pocket, the borrower's card returned to him, and the book placed on the shelf, thus completing the transaction. Browne system. This charging system consists S DU/T of the use of a card pocket used as a borrower’s card, a book card, a book pocket and a date slip. No The card pocket bears the borrower's number, name and address, and is kept on file in the library, reliev- Name ing the borrower of the care of it. A dolress In charging a book, the book card is taken from the book pocket and placed in the borrower's card pocket and the date when book is due is stamped on the date slip facing the book pocket in the book. The borrower's pocket containing the book card is filed next the date guide when the book be- comes due. It is found when the book is returned, by the date on the date slip in the book. The book card is taken from it, returned to the book pocket sº and the book is ready for reissue. Charging trays. For use in smaller libraries, for accurately filing the book cards which com- pose the library's record of loaned books. In larger institutions the L. B. charg— ing desk is generally used. All L. B. charging trays are of the best selected quarter sawed antique oak and are carefully made with dovetailed joints in the same manner as our standard card cabinets. All trays are fitted with angle blocks which allow the proper slant to cards for ease in reading. Charging trays—continued.

Records the books of the library as they stand on the shelves in classes, and is practically a subject index of the same. The shelf list is most liable to change and most subject to wear of all library records, as it must always be a correct report of condition and arrange- ment of the library collections. It is used at inventory time “to read the shelves” and if strict arrangement has been preserved, will show the volumes missing. For these and other reasons it is not expedient to put any other record on the shelf list. The A. L. A. standard size card (7.5 x 12.5 cm.) is recommended for the shelf list. 33011 A. L.

The most convenient and practical way of keeping the correspondence of a library in order is by the vertical filing sys- tem. This needs little explanation for librarians, as in theory and operation it is identical with the card catalog system already familiar to them. The matter to be preserved is sepa- rated according to correspondent or subject and placed in strong manila folders, which are filed on edge in drawers corresponding to the trays of a card catalog. The arrange- ment may be alphabetic or numeric. In the latter case a card index is used as a key to the numbers. Useful as this system is for the orderly preservation of correspondence it is of still greater value in a library for the arrangement of the mass of miscellaneous matter, such as photographs, pamphlets, clippings, manuscript notes and other data which cannot be kept in order in any other way. Everything relating to a certain subject can be brought together and made available for reference when it would otherwise be scattered in several places and be practically useless. This system has come into such general and varied use that it has been made the subject of a separate catalog which will be sent on application, or the system will be adapted to the special needs of any library on request. The cut shows a two-drawer correspondence file. Withdrawal records. May be kept on cards or in one of the less expensive accession books. It records the author, title, call number, accession number, date of withdrawal, withdrawal number, reason for withdrawal and fact of replacement of all books withdrawn from library. Special forms will be printed to order. Wood C. C. pamphlet cases. See Pamphlet cases. ſºsyº（aerº §¶√≠√¶g §§§§§§ ·。 sae«: §§§§§ æ√≠≤≥ §§§ ¿E 、、。ſaeae
