The first edition of the catalog rules was issued in 1886 and was based on the Condensed rules for an author and title catalog, prepared by the cooperation committee of the A. L. A. and printed in the Library journal, 1883, 8:251-54, 263-64, and also separately. For an extended discussion of principles of cataloging, consult Cutter, Rules for a dictionary catalogue, 3d edition, 1891, cited in this book as Cutter, Rules. A compact summary of the principles of cataloging may be found in papers read at the Chicago meeting of the A. L. A., 1893, and publisht in Papers prepared for the World's library congress, p. 835-49. The first part of the Simplified card catalog rules is devoted to rules which apply equally to a dictionary or a clast catalog. Where the rules for the two systems vary, the forms for the dictionary and the clast catalog are treated separately. Sample cards for both systems are also given, p. 29-46. As most popular libraries using a dictionary catalog have Cutter's Rules for a dictionary catalogue and the A. L. A. List of subject headings for use in dic- tionary catalogs, the rules and forms for subject headings are not repeated here. The class numbers on the sample cards are assigned from the Abridged decimal classification. The book numbers are based on Cutter's Alfabetic- order tables, altered and fitted with three figures by Kate E. Sanborn. For farther help in cataloging consult the A. L. A. catalog, 1904, where forms for both a dictionary and a clast catalog are illustrated. The A. L. A. Catalog is also a valuable guide to the use of the Expansive as well as of the Decimal classification, as the carefully selected collection of 7520 volumes is classified by both systems. A brief list of books on library economy in- cluding these and others, and giving publisher and price, will be found on p. 83-84. The labor of condensing and simplifying the Library school rules to adapt them better to the use of small libraries has fallen chiefly on the director's assistant, Miss Florence Woodworth, who has had the cooperation of Mr. W. S. Biscoe, Miss Mary L.. Sutliff, and other members of the Library school faculty and of the New York state library staff, and to their painstaking and intelligent efforts the merits of the rules are largely due.

For imprint see 5c In case of change of name of periodicals, make references from other name or names; e. g. Christian union, see Outlook. S. C. 47-48. In cataloging a periodical which has changed its name, prefer latest form. A set once catalogd under an earlier name should usually not be changed from that form to a later, as the gain is hardly worth the extra work involvd in recataloging. Enter a periodical which is the organ of a society or club, under name of periodical, with added entry under name of society it needed; e. g. Library jjurnal j official organ of the American library association, under title. Enter regular proceedings or transactions of a society, etc. under society's name with added entry under title, if needed; e. g.

Beowulf , Nibelungeniicd, Roland. Arabian nights' enter- tainments. S. C. 13, 56. The following is a list of the most common of these headings: Anglo-Saxon chronicle Domesday book Arabian eights' entertainments Federalist Avesta Fridthj6fs saga fraekua Beowulf Gesta Romanorum Cid, Poem of the ('.ml run Simplified Card Catalog Rules 15 Heliand Merlin Hitopadesa Nibelungenlied Kabala Renard the fox Kalevala Roland Koran Talmud Mabinogion Upanishads Mahdbharata Special classes of people 2n Married women.

Enter a nobleman under his highest title with refer- ence from family name; e. g. Romney, Henry Sidney, earl of. S. C. 7. If family name, or a lower title, is decidedly better known, enter under that with reference from title; e. g. Bacon, Francis, viscount St Albans, making reference from St Albans. 2p Ecclesiastical dignitaries. Enter an ecclesiastical dignitary, unless a pope or sovereign, under his surname; e. g. Newman, John Henry, card. ; Butler, Joseph, bp. Make reference from title when surname does not appear on title-page; e. g. enter under Sherlock, Thomas, bp., and since Sherlock does not appear on title-page, make reference from Salisbury, Thomas, bp. of. 2q Persons entered under forenames. Enter a person known gen- erally by a forename under that name; e. g. sovereign Napoleon 1, S. C. 38 ruling prince Maximilian 1, elector of Bavaria many oriental writers Omar Khayyam pope Leo 13 friar Hyacinthe, Pere, Charles Loyson person canonized Augustine, St Refer, if necessary, from other forms; e. g. Bonaparte, Napoleon, see Napoleon I; Khayyam, Omar, see Omar Khayyam; Loyson, Charles, see Hyacinthe, Pere, Charles Loyson. Use arabic figures after the names of rulers, popes, etc. Added entries and references 2r Editor, translator, etc. Make added entries for editors-, translators, etc. only when book is well-known under those names; e. g. Long- fellow's translation of the Divine comedy, Bryant's translation of the Iliad. Add ed., tr., etc. 1 cm after the name. S. C. 6. 2S Title. Make added entries under titles of all anonymous and pseudony- mous books, or books enterd under initials, all novels, single poems and plays publisht separately, and all other striking titles ; also under specially noticeable words in titles, unless these are provided for, in a dictionary catalog, by subject entries. But do not make title card for anonymous biography unless the book has a striking title. S. C. 2, 18, 29, 41. If a book is well known by any title (e. g. running, half, or binder's title) differing from title-page make added entry under this other title. 16 Simplified Library School Rules In case of such works as the Iliad, Shakspere's plays, etc. where the library has many editions, a title reference instead of a title entry may be made; e. g. Iliad, see Homer. S. C. 14. In fiction where there are several copies of the same book (see 4h-i) a single title card may be made for all, omitting date. 2t Analytic. Make analytics for distinct, important parts of books, specially when the parts have been publisht separately or when the subjects are not otherwise represented in the library. For form of im- print, see 5k. S. C. 39-46, 66, 71. These analytics may be for an author (S. C. 40, 43), subject (S. C. 44-46, t'6. 71), or title (S. C. 41.) Author analytics should not be made for parts of an author's collected works. The writer of part of a book who also edits the whole work, has no author analytic, if editor card is made (2r) unless the part has been publisht separately. On the back of every author analytic which has a corresponding sub- ject card write its subject heading, or in a clast catalog, its subject number. This often saves reference to main card, when for example, all the cards for an author must be removed from the catalog for correction, etc. 2u Series. Enter series usually under title (S. C. 34); or under editor if the series is better known by his name (S. C. ^6). In the former case make reference from editor only when series is also well known by his name; e. g. enter English men of letters; ed. by John Mor/ey, under title with reference from Morley. S. C. 35. If series is enterd under editor, always make reference from title; e. g. enter Arber, Edward, English reprints, under Arber, with reference from English reprints. S. C. 36-37. Make series card only for more important series, but in all cases make series note in curves ( ) following date on main card. Give series number if important. S. C. 32-33, 38. Give two lines to each item of contents on series card beginning with series number between red lines, thus allowing space for both class and book numbers. S. C. 34. 36- For fulness of author's name on series card, follow rule for subject headings, 3b. When extra cards are used give author and title briefly on back of card, to identify if misplaced. For indention of extra card, see 8j, S. C. 34. 47. 2v References. Make references to the form chosen for the heading, from any other form under which the reader is likely to look; e. g. cities 3i S. C. 55 college societies 2i compound names 3e S. C. 8 ecclesiastical dignitaries 2p editors and titles of series 211 S. C. 3$, 37 forenames 2q government departments to bureaus ^g S. C. 52 initials 2b S. C. 23-24 married women 211 noblemen 20 S. C. 7 2j S. C. 48 3d S. C. 1 1-12 2C S. C. 26 3a S. C. 13 2S S. C. 14 Simplified Card Catalog Rules 17 periodicals prefixes pseudonyms spellings title umlaut 9b S. C. 9-10 For form of author's name and indention, see 3c, Sg. For references from Bible, single books of the Bible, etc. when a clast catalog is made, see 11c S. C. 73. 2w Other added entries and references. Make added entries or refer- ences whenever needed for ready finding of a book. 3 Form of heading 3a Author entry. On author card use best known form of author's name, with reference from any other form commonly known. The Catalog of 'A. L. A.' library will serve as a guide. This rule will some- times override the more specific rules which follow. They usually determin the heading unless some other form is clearly better known. For treatment of pseudo- nyms, see 2c. For form of names for Greek and Latin authors follow Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Boman biography. In headings and notes if there is good authority for more than one spelling, prefer the shorter; e. g. Shakspere, not Shakespeare. Give author's hereditary titles in the laaguage in which the name is enterd; e. g. Paris, Louis Philippe, comte de. For sovereigns, reigning princes and popes, always use English form of title. 3b Subject entry. On subject cards write out author's forename if only one; e. g. Phillips, Wendell. If more than one forename is used on author card, e. g. Beecher, Henry Ward, give simply initials or colon abbreviations on subject card ; e. g. Beecher, H : W. S. C. 3-4, n. Write all surnames in full on subject card: e. g. Beaconsfield, Benja- min Disraeli, earl of; Jackson, Mrs Helen Hunt. Use colon abbreviations for English names, where only initials would otherwise be given, H: meaning Henry and being as brief as H. S. C. 3-4, 33- 3c Added entry and reference. On added entry cards for editor, translator, etc. write editor's or translator's name on top line in the form for heading on author cards. See 3a. S. C. 6. Write author's name on second line in the form for heading on subject cards. See 3b. S. C. 2, 6. For indention, see 8e. On name reference cards write author's name on second line in form for heading on author cards. See 3a. S. C. 7-10, 12-13, 2 ^, 28 For indention, see 8g. 3d Prefix. Enter English and French surnames beginning with a prefix (except the French de and d') under prefix; in other languages under word following (S. C. 10-12) e. g. La Fontaine, Jean de; 18 Simplified Library School Rules Voltaire, Francois Marie Arouet de ; Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von, Lennep, Jacob van, but enter foreign names anglicized under prefix; e. g. De Quincey, Van Nostrand. Make references whenever the name would be lookt for under a form not chosen; e. g. De Stael, Mme, sec Stael, Mme de. Most French names, however, would be lookt for under part following de, making reference unnecessary; e. g. Sevigne, Mme de. 3e Compound name. Enter English compound names under last part, foreign under first, with reference from form not chosen; e. g. enter Sabine Baring-Gould, under Gould, Sabine Baring-, with refer- ence from Baring-Gould, and Eugen von Bohm-Bawerk under Bohm- Bawerk, with reference from Bawerk, Eugen von Bohm-. S. C. 8. According to 3a, James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps is better enterd under Halliwell Phillipps. 3f Title of honor, date, etc. Add titles of honor, dates of birth and death, residence, etc. to distinguish writers of same name. Always add titles that are part of the person's usual designation, as Rev., Gen. etc. or a sobriquet; e. g. Jackson, Gen. Thomas Jonathan, called Stonewall. Distin- guishing dates follow title affixes, and precede affixes ed. tr. etc. ; e. g. Brown, John, D.D. 1715-66, tr. Dates of birth and death and other information in regard to author may be given on a guide card; e. g. Howard, Blanche Willis, afterwards Mrs Teuffel. See Catalog of 'A. L. A. library' under Howard, p. 406; see also under Holland, Josiah Gilbert, p. 403, and under Sand, George, p. 514. 3g Government department. Enter government departments (country or state) including national or royal libraries, museums, galleries, etc. under name of country, etc. followd by a dash and official name of department, inverting if necessary to alfabet by the distinctiv word (3J-k, 9g) : e. g. L T . S. — Agriculture, Dep'tof; Gr. Br. — National gallery, London, with reference from National gallery, London, and London National gallery. Enter subordinate bureaus directly under name of bureau, and under department give a list of all bureaus belonging to it under which entries have been made; e. g. U. S. — Education, Bureau of, and make reference from U. S. — Interior, Dep't of. S. C. 51-52. Always give name of country in English form; e. g. Austria not Osterreich. 3h Municipal department. Enter departments of cities, towns, etc. under name of place followd by dash and official name of department (3J-k, 9g), as in government departments (3g) ; e. g. Boston — Public library. Cincinnati — Education, Board of. Minneapolis — Health, Board of. This includes libraries, galleries, etc. contrcld by city governments but noi others. Always give name of cities, towns, etc. i- ; English form: e. g. Vienna not Wien, Floren e not Firenze Simplified Card Catalog Rules 19 3i Society, institution. Enter a society or other institution under its best known name; in case of doubt, under first word, not an article, of its corporate name. Make reference from any other well known name, specially from name of place in which it has headquarters (S. C. 54-55) ;e. g- Royal society of London, with reference from London, Royal society of. Corcoran gallery of art, Washington, with reference from Wash- ington (D. C), Corcoran gallery of art. Enoch Pratt free library of Baltimore, with reference from Balti- more, Enoch Pratt free library of. Lawrence scientific school, with reference from Harvard univer- sity — Lawrence scientific school. University of Chicago, with reference from Chicago University. New York Shakespeare society, with reference from Shakespeare society of New York. Elizabeth (N. J.), First presbyterian church, with reference from First presbyterian church, Elizabeth (N. J.) New Jersey medical society, with reference from Medical society of New Jersey. Pennsylvania historical society, with reference from Historical society of Pennsylvania. Spell the names of societies, etc. as in their publications; e. g. New York Shakespeare society, with reference, if necessary, from other forms. For arrangement, see og. 3J Subordinate part of heading. Use a dash [ — ] in headings be- tween name of a country, city, town or institution and name of a department, bureau or other subordinate part; e. g. Boston — Public library. This is done for convenience in arrangement, thus separating names of official bodies from names of institutions, etc. beginning with name of place: e. g. Brooklyn— Public instruction, Sup't of; Brooklyn civil service reform association. See og. S. C. 51-52. 3k Inversion. Use inversion to bring most important word of a head- ing first: e. g. Scribner's, Charles, sons; Cincinnati — Education, Board of. S. C. 51-52, 55. See also ag. 4 Title 4a Omissions. Give short title, omitting: mottoes repetitions author's name editors, translators, etc. unless important all honorary titles usually initial article in English and all other non-essential matter. S. C. 58, 1, 5, 15, 22, 25, 30, 38-39, 44, 50-51, 56- 57, 63-66, 68-72, 74, etc. 20 Simplified Library School Rules Put serial number, designation of series and imprint information into imprint or series note on main card. Disregard engraved and illustrated title-pages except when there is no other title-page. On main and added entry subject cards give enough of title to justify the subject entry, or if title does not show it, give information in a note. 4b Editor, translator. When editors, translators, etc. are given in title, follow rule for author's name on subject card. See 3b. S. C. 5, 56-58. 4c Initial article. Use initial article in English when needed to com- plete the sense; e. g. {The) judgment, (A) vision. In other languages always express the article. Inclose initial article in curves ( ) and alfabet by following word. S. C. 62. 4d Author's name. Repeat author's name in title in those few cases in which it is an integral part of title; e. g. Monteith's geography, 4e Spelling". Follow title-page in spelling and in use of umlaut, writing e. g. Shakspere or Shakespeare, Goethe or Gothe, as words appear on title-page. Indicate misprints, or odd spellings, by three dots underneath, rather than by the common [sic]', e. g. Kanzas not Kanzas [sic]. S. C. 36, 38, 44-45- 4f Arabic figures. In book titles use arabic figures for all numbers above nine. Numbers below 10 may be written out unless figures are used on title-page. Numbers at beginning of a title o*r in any other specially prominent place may be written out. The clumsy and easily misread roman numerals should always be given in arabic. S. C. 15, 49, 5 6 > 6 3- Figures may be used for all numeral adjectivs; e. g. 2d, 4th. 4g Rare book. Titles of books specially valuable for antiquity or rarity may be given in full, with all practicable precision, or reference may be made to bibliografies in which they are fully described. See Cutter, Rules, §261. 4h Added edition. In adding another entry to a card, use a single dash [ — ] in place of author heading, and two dashes [ ] in place of author and title. S. C. 17-19, 49. Usually add later to earlier editions in this way, giving imprint of second entry and part of title if it differs in important particulars. Indexes, supplements, keys, etc., are added to card with one or two dashes, inverting, if necessary, to bring words 'index,' etc. first. S. C. 49. On back of main card write accession number or numbers of edition added, using imprint date or number of edition to distinguish them; e. g. 27A3-4 2V. 1870 8749-50 2v. 1896 In fiction ignore difference of editions and translations, treating them as 'copies ' (4-i) unless there are more than minor changes; e. g. a differ- Simplified Card Catalog Rules 21 ent number of volumes, or unless one edition is sufficiently well known to be calld for in preference to others. 4i Second copy. In case of a second copy of a book, on main and added entry cards write '2 cop.' in red ink at right of book or class number, diagonally (/) in blank space between red lines. S. C. 63-66. In case of fiction and other popular books where number of copies is continually changing, number of copies may be omitted from face of card. On back of main card write after old accession number ' cop. 1 ' ; after new accession number, 'cop. 2' ; e. g. 943 cop. 1 8706 cop. 2 S. C. 67. If two copies come in at same time write accession number on back of card as if for two volumes, but instead of ' 2 v.' write ' 2 cop.' ; e. g. 4675-6 2 cop. 5 Imprint 5a Arrangement. Arrange the imprint in three groups 1 cm apart as follows, (S. C. 1, 47, 49-5 if 53, 5 6 -57, 7 2 , etc.) 1 edition See 5c. S. C. 49, 51, 58. I volumes If more than one. S. C. 49. See also 5d-e.

Give edition in English when it forms a group of the imprint; and begin with a capital. Omit all adjectivs except new, revized, enlarged, and number of edition, translating equivalent phrases into these; e. g. Ed. 2 enl. not 2te durchgesehene, vermehrte & verbesserte auflage. S. C. 17, 30, 49, 51, 58. Give edition in language of title-page if it is copied as a part of title. When volumes of a set are of different editions, give earliest and latest editions; e. g. Ed. 1-4. When designation of edition is in nature of a series, give it in a series note, e. g. Household ed. ; Riverside ed. See 2U. S. C. 42. 5d Incomplete work. When volumes of a set are missing, give number of volumes in complete set, specifying missing volumes in pencil note, which can be erased as soon as they are secured. S. C. 53. For con- tinuations, see 5c 22 Simplified Library School Rules If a book is incomplete and no more will be publisht, give in the im print in ink what has appeard, adding in a note ' No more publisht. S. C. 53. 5e Continuation. In continuations omit volumes from imprint, and give below in columns exact statement of volumes in library with dates which they cover. S. C. 47. Add new volumes in order as receivd ; e. g. Smithsonian institution — Regents, Board of. Annual report. illus. O. Wash. 1S47 — date. Library has ; v. 1-10 1846-55 12-49 1857-94 50 1S94-95 51 1895-96 On subject card, if any, in a dictionary catalog, add note; e. g. 4 Foi full statement of volumes in library see Harper's monthly in main alfabet. ' In a clast catalog add note to main subject card, ' For full statement of volumes in library, see name catalog.' 5f Size. If volumes of a set have different sizes give both sizes; e. g. 12 v. O & O; or, if set is incomplete, v. 1-8, O & O. If the size makes a different call number necessary, give at left the call number for such volumes, followd by number and size of volumes; e. g. 9^ 2 v. ;-i2, Q. S. C. 50. See also Simplified book numbers, 32c q p 73 5g Atlas. If there is an atlas or volumes of plates, write; e. g. v. 1-12, < I \; atlas F, or if they are of same size, v. 1-12 & atlas O. S. C. 50. 5h Map, broadside, etc. If maps, broadsides, etc. are catalogd sepa- rated, give size of map in centimeters, hight bv width; e. g. 91x71 cm. s. c 5i Place. Give place in language in which it appears on title-page. Give corrections and additions in English; e. g. Camb. Eng. , Camb. Mass.

C. 21. 5J Date. When volumes of a set have different dates, give earliest and latest dates; e. g. 1834-49. S. C. 49. If practicable, supply date if it does not appear on title-page; e. g. use copyright date, preface date, etc. S. C 20, 47. pproximate dates if these only are known; e. g. ? 1893, 1S9 — , i3 — . Asa last resort use n. d. meaning no date.' S. C. 21. 5k Analytic. In analytics, give author and title of part analyzed, fol- lowd by a brief reference to complete work in curves ( ). S. C. 40-41, 43-46, 66, 71. Simplified Card Catalog Rules 23 When the article has an independent title-page give imprint of analyzed part before the ( ). S. C. 44~45- If it is a part of the regular pages or is containd in preface or appendix pages, give page where analytic begins. S. C. 40-4 1 * 43. 4<>- 6 Contents and notes 6a Contents. Give contents of volumes, when necessary properly to describe the work. It is usually best to give contents only on one card. In literature and polygrafy they are more useful on author card, in other classes, generally on subject card. Contents should be written in smaller letters. Begin on second line after imprint; see also Si. S. C. 5- 6b Notes. Notes, as a rule, are given in English, and in smaller letters, indenting like title. S. C. 21, 47, 53, 79. Proper use of a terse, clear note is one mark of a good cataloger. Any fact should be noted which is necessary for adequate description of the book, either as a publication or as a particular copy; e. g. explanations of misleading or ambigu- ous titles, imperfections, etc. If the title-page does not show it, state language of book, in a note; e. g. 'In French.' Inclusiv dates for period coverd in history and travel are very useful and may be given in a note, or as part of the subject heading. 7 Subject entries 7a Main entry. Make a subject entry for main subject of each book. S. C. 3, 16, 19, 33, 64, 69. Certain classes of books usually have no subject entry in a dictionary catalog; e. g. fiction, poetry and drama by a single author, general periodicals, autobiografy efc. See Cutter, Rules, §92, 122. In both dictionary and clast catalogs, make added entries for all other important subjects in which the book as a whole may be useful. S. C. 65, 70. 7b Analytic. Make subject analytics for distinct, important parts ot books, 2t. For form of imprint see 5k. S. C. 44-46, 66, 71. 7c PamfletS. Independent books or pamflets are often bound in one volume. Catalog each independently; i. e. make subject and author cards, and added entries if necessary for each book or pamflet. Put accession number on back of main card for first pamflet. To both author and subject cards for all pamflets add note; e. g. 'Bound with other pamtiets,' 'Bound with Shairp, J: C. Robert Burns.' To trace entries, write on back of main author card the number of other sets of cards in the book, giving number of sets under each different author; e. g. 2 sets under Gray, T: 1 " White, H: K. On back of author card for each secondary pamflet write subject headings (dictionary catalog) or class numbers (clast catalog) relating to that pamflet. 24 Simplified Library School Rules 8 Indention, spacing, call numbers Indention 8a Author.

Write subject heading in red ink on top line of card beginning first and succeeding lines at right red line, followd by author's name indented as in 8a. S. C. 3, 16, 19, 64-66, etc. Divisions of main subject may be indicated by underlining in a card catalog (S. C. 64-65, 67) and by italics in a printed catalog; e. g. England. History. If preferd, a dash [ — J may be used to separate main and subordinate parts of subject heading, following analogy of 3J ; e. g. England — History. 8e Added entry for editor, translator, title, etc. Write name of editor, translator, etc. on top line beginning at right red line, indenting as for subject heading, 8d. Begin author's name on next line after head- ing, indenting as in 8a. S. C. 2, 6, 29. 8f Analytic. Begin name of author of analytic at left red line indenting as in 8a. Begin title of analytic at right red line indenting as in 8b. S. C. 40, 43-46, 66, 71. 8g Reference. Write name from which reference is made, on top line, indenting as for subject heading, 8d. Write name to which reference i made, on next line, indenting as for author heading, 8a. S. C. 7-14, 4S. 'See' and ' see also ' references in a dictionary catalog are indented like name references. S. C. 59-61. If preferd, the words ' see' and ' see also' may be underlined. When reference is made from one heading to several others, each of the headings to which reference is made is begun at the left red line. S. C. 60. 8h Note.

Give two lines to each entry on series card and keep all entries to right of right red line. Put volume or series numbers, if they occur, between red lines. S. C. 34, 36. 8j Extra card. When more space is needed, number and tie on extra cards and indent them as if all were on one card. Put call number on each card; see also 211. S. C. 34, 47. Simplified Card Catalog Rules 25 Spacing 8k Heading. Leave space of 1 cm in heading, between author's name and words or dates affixt; e. g. Jardine, Sir William, bart. ed. S. C. 6-7, 12, 20, 62. 81 Title and imprint. Leave also 1 cm between title and imprint, between three groups of imprint, and between date and series note, or other matter following date on same line; but leave no space if it would come at beginning of line.

Call numbers 8m Position, etc. Write call number of every book, in blue ink, on all its cards; class number in upper left corner and under it the book number. Add volume number to all cards referring to only part of a set. S. C. 1-5, 15-19, 4 6 , 49, etc. All letters in call number should be printed not written, except where printed form may be confused with a figure, in which case the script form should be used; e. g. lower case 1 is liable to be mistaken for figure one, b for 6. Name reference cards have no call number. Call numbers may be in red ink, if preferd ; but in a clast catalog if red is used ' for call numbers, added subject numbers should be in blue. See lib. 9 Arrangement 9a Order. Alfabet in order of English alfabet. 9b Umlaut. In a heading always write German ae, oe, ue, as a, 0, ii, e. g. Miiller, not Mueller, unless the other form is decidedly better known, e. g. Goethe, not Gdthe. S. C. 9-10.

Added subject numbers are written in red ink on fourth and succeeding lines of main subject card. S. C. 69. Class number for each added subject card is written in red ink on the top line of its card with call number directly below it. See 8m. S. C. 45-46, 70-71. Only call numbers (never added subject numbers) are put on face of cards in name catalog. S. C. 68. IIC Bible. Enter Bible or any part of it including the Apocrypha under editor, translator, etc. ; e. g. enter Alford, Henry, ed.

Make references in name catalog to subject catalog for such headings as Bible, Old testament, New testament, and for names of single books of the Bible when the library contains separate editions of these. It is un- necessary to duplicate in the name catalog the group under 220 (Bible) and its subdivisions in the subject catalog. S. C. 73. lid Biografy: clast catalog. In individual biografy write full name of biografee in red ink on top line of subject card, followd by subject entry for book in usual form. S. C. 3?,, 46. For arrangement see 11k. In autobiografy the name is repeated, as author and biografee are the same (S. C. 74); e. g. 92 Mill, John Stuart. M64 Mill, J: S. Autobiography. O. N. Y. 1873. Collectiv biografy has usual form of subject card without a red ink heading. When Abridged decimal classification is used, individual biografy is readily recognized by class number 92. Individual biografy of a special subject is clast with the subject in the following cases: 220.9 lives of Bible characters 326 " slaves 397 " gipsies 970.2 " indians lie Biografy: name catalog. If biografee cards are included in name catalog, they should be like the biografee subject card except that red ink numbers should be omitted. S. C. 33, 46. For arrangement see nl.

Ilk Arrangement: clast catalog. Arrange subject cards: 1) by class numbers, 2) by authors. If subordinate red ink headings are used, arrange: 1) by class numbers, 2) by red ink headings, 3) by authors. Criticism cards are arranged next after works criticized. For description of the Relativ subject index used with a clast catalog arranged by the Decimal classification, see Abridged decimal classification, P- 7-8, 75-192; or for fuller statement see Decimal classification, pref. p. 10-12, p. 403-593- ill Arrangement : name catalog. Arrange cards in name catalog as follows : 1 bibliografy 2 biografy 3 general criticism of an author 4 complete works 5 partial works 6 single works Two or more works under the title of the first should be arranged with single works. Arrange translations and criticisms of an individual work directly after the original. 7 work as joint author 8 work as editor, translator, etc. Instead of white cards for biografy, bibliografy and criticism, colord cards may be used. See 12. 12 Colord cards To make certain class of entries more prominent, either in a dictionary or a clast catalog, distinctiv colors may be used. In accordance with Simplified Card Catalog Rules 20 this principle, green may be used for the biografy card described in ne; blue for the bibliografy card in the name catalog, nf; and canary for the criticism card, 1 ig-h. For greater convenience they are prepared with printed headings, ' For biography of,' ' For bibliography of,' ' For criticism of, ' and when so used, the word 'see' should be written in black ink, 1 cm after red ink heading. S. C. 77-78. Sample cards illustrating catalog rules In the following illustrations, subject cards are markt (dictionary catalog), (clast catalog). Unless otherwise specified, all the other cards may be used in either a dictionary or a clast catalog. Subject headings (S. C. 3, 16, 19, 33, 44, 46, 59-62, 64-66, 74-80), added subject numbers (S. C. 45-46, 69-71), and number of copies (S. C. 63-66, 68-71) printed here in italics, should be written in red ink on the cards. S:nall italics in imprint (S. C. 47) and in note (S.

Papers pre- pared for the World's library congress, 1896, p. 809-26. 20 Accession book 20a Importance. First of all records to be fild, and by no means last in importance, is the accession book, the history of the growth of the library. To this the librarian turns for final reference in doubtful cases. Here is the complete story of each volume, fully told, but in the most compact form. It is the official indicator for the whole collection, the most permanent of library records. Each line is a separate pigeonhole, in which, if not exactly the book, all the condenst facts about the book are placed. Thence they are never removed, they are not stolen, or lent, or condemd, or withdrawn, or sent to the binder, or lost. The card is never misplaced, the entry does not mysteriously disappear, a new edition never supersedes, the entry never needs to be rewritten. The librarian may turn to his accession book to learn what, and where, and when, and whence, and how much, and feel sure of his answer. A well made accession book has an element of mathematical exactness unknown to the card catalog or shelf list. It is the editio princeps. By this complete, unchangeable record the additions for every day, week, month, and year are shown at a glance; also the total number of volumes which the library has had, and its present number by subtract- ing the total withdrawn and lost. 20b Form. For this essential book many forms have been used, but the best features of all were finally combined in the A. L. A. standard acces- sion book made by a committee of experts who compared thuroly all the various forms collected, made and tested samples, and finally agreed on all details of materials, ruling, printing and binding. To save expense, however, smaller libraries prefer the Condensed accession book described below and illustrated by the sample sheet facing p. 52. On the left page of the Condensed accession book are acces- sion number, author and title. On the right page are the regular imprint entries: place, publisher, year, pages and size followd by the description of the special copy, i. e. binding, source and cost. Next is given the call number composed of class, book and volume numbers, and finally a column for remarks, in which are added notes of changes, loss, rebinding, sale, etc. By the rule of a line to a number, and dates in the left margin, every page has exactly 25 entries, and the eye is greatly helpt in quick refer- ence. The red lines help the eye in passing across the page, following one or two above or below, and thus avoiding the danger of getting off the line in crossing the fold. • 48 Simplified Library School Rules 21 Reception 2ia Bill. Arrange books in order of bill and check each item that is correct. Verify prices and footings of bill and certify bill with initials. 2lb Order slip. Compare books with order slips taken from order index. Record date of receipt and cost price on order slips, and put each order slip in the corresponding book. After accession numbers have been stampt on order slips (see 22Q file order slips in receipt index alfabeticly. 2IC Book. Pencil date, source and price in cents on inner margin of first recto after the title page; e. g. 1 Je 98 Put. 167. See 22b. 2ld Private mark. Put in private mark when entry is made in acces- sion book. Each library selects its own private mark. Some libraries use a pin hole always on the same page; e. g. 49 or 33 or 65. This should be a page in the first 100, that it may apply to thin books. Others choose a more complicated rule, less easily dis- coverd; e. g. the highest page made all of 3's, i. e. 3, 33, or 333, or the highest page in 1, 2, 3 order, i. e. 12, 123 or 1234. This perforation is a safe private mark, as it can hardly be found by accident or removed, if known, so as not to be detected by an expert. 22 Entry 22a Order. Enter on accession book in order of bill. The official business record of additions should be kept as strictly up to date as a cash account. If more books come in than can be written up at once, and some are wanted in special haste, they may be enterd first, but under no circumstances should leave the library till properly added. Once bearing the accession number, other facts are readily found ; but a book without this guide is easily lost or confused with books from other sources or coming in on other dates. The accession book corresponds to the invoice book of a business house. 22b Abbreviations, etc. Use the library abbreviations in all entries. See 52. These include dates, authors' forenames, place, size, binding, etc. So many facts are given in so little space, that it is important to save room by using abbrevia- tions; and as only those familiar with them use this book, the objection against the use of abbreviations in public catalogs does not hold good. All obvious contractions may be used in this book, specially in titles. Each user should, before making the first entry, read these rules thru carefully and add neatly in manuscript any added rules that seem desira- ble, and a ' List of special abbreviations,' which will show names of agents, funds, etc. local in character, but occurring so often as to need contraction. This done, a glance will show what rule was decided on and explain any abbreviations not on the printed list. 22c Date of reception. Give day, month, and year in upper left margin of each left-hand page, and day and month (5 2i) before the first entry of each day. The running date at the top is used in turning to find books by dates. It applies to all entries till a new date is prefect to the accession number page or more are receivd the same day, the date in top margin is enoug 1. Simplified Accession Rules 49 times only a single book is added, but its date must be given as carefully as for a pageful, for dates, like other figures, are almost worthless if not exact. This date shows when the book came into the library, and; if the accessions were written up daily, it would also be the date of entry. A large number coming £t once should be entered under the same date, to show that they came together, even if the entry takes several days. If books accumulate they should be kept in order of reception, which is shown by date on inner margin of first recto, 21c; and if 'any are specially wanted before the others, the lines may be counted off so as to accession in proper order. 22d Accession number. Give to each volume the next consecutiv num- ber on the first blank line of the accession book, and enter this number on the lower margin of the first recto, after the title page of each volume receivd. Never assign the same number to another volume, even if the original is lost, sold, exchanged, or condemnd and an exact duplicate obtaind. An accession number is given to each separate volume, and not to works, sets, lots, series, or collections. Numbering works, in however many volumes they may chance to be, always leads to confusion. The last number should show how many volumes the library has receivd from the beginning. The entries, if the same, are dittoed with labor too trifling for mention. One ditto mark serves for the whole line, instead of dittoing each word ; and even this is done only once in the life of the book. The Condensed accession book has from 1000 to 5000 lines or pigeon-holes for as many distinct volumes. Trial of various plans proves it best to assign one of these pigion-holes or lines across the book to each volume. There is then no trouble in recording titles, imprint, cost, source, binding, etc., for the different volumes of a set. If any volume is lost, or rebound, >r requires any note or comment to preserve its history and the record of its present state, the way is perfectly simple. r t Number on book. As soon as assignd, stamp or write the acces- sion number near the bottom of first recto after the title-page. When the book is rebound, the number is thus preservd for immediate reference or identification. 22f Number on card, order slip and bill. Stamp or write the accession number on the back of main author card, crosswise of the back on the reverse of the upper left corner of the front (see Simplified card catalog rules, if S. C. 67) also on the order slip under ' Library no.' and after the first and last items on the bill. This number on the card gives easy reference to the accession book. A card with ai; accession number on the back is recognized at a glance as a main card. In case of sets, give only first and last accession number when consecutive ; e. g. 7523-4 2V. The numbering stamp, tho costly at first, is a real economy in a library, where it saves its cost in time of assistants, besides giving compact printed numbers of the greatest legibility. 22g Pamflets. Pamflets not previously accessioned, when bound, are entered the same as new books, on the date when they come in from the Dindery, which is the time of their reception as books. In the source 50 Simplified Library School Rules column the abbreviation ' pam. bd.' meaning 'pamflet bound,' in p] of the agent's name, shows that the pamflets had been in the libra but not enterd. For a full 'discussion of pamflets see A. L. A. Papers prepared fo^ World's library congress, 1896, p. 826-35. 22h Author. Write author's surname in the form used in the card catalog {Simplified card catalog rules 3a) and give only initials or cc abbreviations of forenames (52a) e. g. Fiske, J:; Barrie, J. Give only surnames of joint authors; e. g. Huxley & Youmans. sample accession sheet facing p. 52. The form used in the author column must correspond with the entry on \% main card for the catalog, hence a careless heading should not be written hen. at the risk of error. If in doubt, leave the author column blank, and fill in after heading is decided for the catalog. The line separating author and title is faint, so as to be seen only when 1 let for, to guide in making the titles line accurately one under the other. V author's name or the title is very long, this line is simply disregarded, but in i entries there will be a little space between the author and the beginning of t!i If the work is anonymous, leave the author column blank, to be when authorship is discovered. A volume of pamflets is enterd under the heading used on the n card for the first pamflet (Simplified card catalog rules, 7c) with a nut title column; e. g. ' & 9 other pam.' 22i Title. Give only a brief title. Other facts are given with so much fulness that the book is readily identi- < I 22J Imprint. Give place, date and size, in accordance with Sim card catalog rules (5a, f, h-j), except that more abbreviations may safely be used. See also 22b, k-n, 52. 22k Place and publisher. If several places or publishers are prin give only the first named on title-page, or the most important, if main publisher is given in large type with fine type names preceding. Leave space between abbreviation for place and publisher, so entry will nut look like a name and irtitials; e. g. L. Macmillan, not L. Macmillan. 22l Year. Give date of publication in arabic figures. Use copyright date only when there is no date on title-page. 22m Pages. Usually give main paging. If two groups of paging are about equal give both; if minor group contains more than 100 pa give both. For parts of books separately bound, give first and last pages; e. g. p. C 1 3-1 120. In case of pamflet volumes give paging of first pamflet only. 22n Size. Except in rare books, the size letter is sufficient. See 5 2f. 220 Binding. Give binding material, indicating half-binding by pi inggor better a superior"; e. g. "mor. See 52J. Simplified Accession Rules 51 22p Source. Under 'Source' write name of giver, if the book is a gift: name of firm or library agents of whom bought, and name of fund, if bought from income of a special fund. The funds of each library are so well known to the librarian that initials are ample; the column for source allows room for both agent and fund. 22q Cost. Under ' Cost ' give in dollars and cents the actual cost of the book. In case of foreign books convenience requires that cost be given in ordinary denominations, so that a moment suffices to tell an inquirer the cost of any book. When several volumes of a set are bought at once, give cost of series opposit the first volume enterd, preceded by number of volumes included; e g. v. 4, 5, and 6 of some work come in together, and cost together $13.34. Instead of dividing this up, and entering $4.48 against each volume, make the entry against the first (v. 4); e. g. 3 v. $13.44. Give items of cost carefully, thus making the accession book for all practical purposes the invoice book. Mark gifts ' g ' in cost column. 22r Call number. Enter class, book and volume numbers when assignd. Tho some libraries prefer to omit them, these numbers are of value in the accession book because: 1; They refer directly to the shelves and shelf list; 2) They are the best check to show that all books paid for really get on the shelves, instead of disappearing by accident or design before being enterd in the catalog and shelf list; 3) The class number makes analysis and statistics much easier. Class and book number columns are left blank till the book is clast, catalogd and shelflisted, and are then fild. in from the main card before it is put into the catalog. For use of printed form of letters in call numbers see Simplified card catalog rules, 8m 22S Volume number. Give number of volume if more than one. If in only one volume, leave this column blank as 1 indicates that it is the first of a set of two or more. In the volume column, enter two volumes bound in one 1—: 3—4, Enter one volume bound in two parts i 1 , i 2 , etc. each part on a separate line. Make all entries of facts perfectly definit. 22t Second copy. When two or more copies of a book are preservd write 'cop. 1' and 'cop. 2' in volume column. If a volume number is in volume column, write ' cop. 1 ' or ' cop. 2 ' above. 22u Remarks. Under ' Remarks ' indicate any rebinding, sale, loss, exchange, withdrawal as duplicate, binding in with another volume, or any change or disposition. The preceding entries tell what the book was when it came into tho library. « Remarks tell of any changes, and of the final disposition in case the book is no longer in its accustomd place. This rule requires less labor than at first appears, and saves a n it costs. When books come in from the bindery, it is a very brief matter to open to their numbers, and note the new binding with its cost. 5 2 Simplified Library School Rules Then if the volume is lost and the reader is required to pay for it, mere is a means of knowing whether it was in paper as at first bought for 25 cents, or in half morocco as rebound, at an added cost of $1. The accession book is the book of final reference for these technical facts that do not appear in the catalog or shelf list. The efficient librarian must be able somewhere to refer to everything of the kind, and for this no other record offers so great advantages. 22v Pictures, statuary, maps, etc. Enter on a separate accession book, pictures, statuary, maps, and all articles, other than books, added to the library. Record date, source, cost, and any other items of interest. To distinguish works of art and their numbers from books, prefix A, marking the first work of art Ai, and so on, the last number showing the extent of the collec- tion. If wisht, a similar list for scientific specimens can be made under Si, for maps under Mi, etc. Maps, charts, etc. not in book form, should be stampt in lower right corner, or near title. In size column, give length and breadth in centimeters; e. g. 41 x 52 cm. 23 Stamping, plating, pocketing and labeling See also Catalog of 'A. L. A.' library, 1893, pref. p. 17-19 23a Stamping. Stamp each full title page in every book on upper right corner. Stamp the first page of text proper (i. e. matter after preface or introduction) in upper right corner. Stamp all plates and maps not included in paging. Do not stamp illustrations included in text. On plates, portraits, etc. stamp margin and a little of picture, but take great care not to disfigure picture by stamping on an important part, e. g. face of a portrait. When an embossing stamp is used and there are several plates, maps, etc. in a volume, emboss at different distances from top of page to avoid spreading the book. If plates are so numerous that embossing will swell the book materially, or if plates are paper for perforating or embossing stamps, use ink " plate. 23b Plating. Paste bookplate in center of inside of front cover. If his space is occupied by another bookplate, autograf or matter of value, place plate above or below, as there may be room. If there is not blank space enough for plate, paste its edge on inside edge of cover. 23c Pocketing. If book pockets are used, paste them in center of inside of back cover, with opening toward the inner edge. 23d Labeling or gilding.

The following rules assume that the books in a library have been separated into classes in some form of relativ location and that a distinguishing mark or number has been given to each book to designate its class. For convenience, the class numbers of the Abridged decimal classification are used in illustration. For definition of class number see p. 7. For fiction, which is the largest class in most popular libraries, the class number should be omitted altogether. Thus absence of any class number shows that the book belongs to the class fiction. After books have been separated into their various classes, there may be in some cases two, in others 200 or more volumes, all bearing the same class number. If there is no arrangement in the class, much time is wasted in finding books. In small classes a particular book may be pickt out at a glance, but in large classes all the titles may have to be read in succession till the one wanted is reacht. It is very important, therefore, that the various books of each class be arranged in some definit order. For popular libraries, an alfabetic arrangement, usually by authors, is best. 31 Book numbers For definition of book number see p. 7. 31a Purpose. In order that books may be quickly and accurately placed, calld for, found and charged there should be given to each book, except fiction (see 30), both a class number and a book number. The book number distinguishes each book from every other in the same class, and in combination with the class and volume number distinguishes each volume from every other in the library. Without book numbers, it takes longer both to find and replace books, and there is great danger of putting them in wrong places, as publishers' bindings can not be depended on as a guide. Books in each class should be placed on the shelves in the exact alfabetic and numeric order of the book numbers. The call number (the combination of the class and book number, see definition p. 7) should be placed both on the back of the book and on the bookplate inside the front cover. See Simplified accession rules, 23b, d. No book should be lent till plainly markt with its call number. 31b Principles. Three tests to be applied to any system of book num- , bers are, simplicity, brevity and utility (i. e. capacity to serve some purpose beside that of an arbitrary mark). Book numbers should be so simple as to be readily written without mistakes by readers ignorant of the library system and easily understood by unskild assistants who must get and replace the books.

Book numbers should be so simple as to be readily written without mistakes by readers ignorant of the library system and easily understood by unskild assistants who must get and replace the books. 54 Simplified Library School Rules They should also be as short as possible to keep at a minimum the clerical work to which even a single unnecessary character for each book adds perceptibly. They should give as much added information as possible. The most useful book number is some substitute for a name, distinct, easy to read, easy to write. 3IC Form. The best form for this substitute for a name is a capital letter followd by arabic figures. For use of printed form of letters in call numbers see Simplified card catalog rules, 8m. 32 Arrangement by use of tables 32a Cutter tables. The best and most widely used translation system for names is that devized by Mr C: A. Cutter. This system should be used wherever a more exact alfabetic arrangement is desired than that described in 37. These tables represent a name by its initial followd by figures used decimally (to allow intercalation) and so cast off as to keep the names in almost strict alfabetic order. In these tables the first few letters of the most common surnames are given in columns in exact alfabetic order. In parallel columns, opposit each combination, is its translation into figures to which the initial letter of the name must be prefixt. The first edition of the tables carried the subdivisions to two figures; in the second edition entitled Alfabetic-order tables altered and fitted with three figures by Kate E. Sanborn, the numbers are carried to three figures. The later edition has been used in the following rules. 32b Author arrangement. Usually assign book number from author. For treatment of individual biografy see 35a-d. See also 34C-d, 36a. 32c Length of number. Use initial of author and first figure of number except in fiction and individual biografy when two figures from the tables should be used; e. g. Dickens, Charles. Child's history of England 942 D5 44 Barnaby Rudge D54 44 Collection of letters 92 D54 See also 32(l-e, 34b, 35b. 32d Extra figure. Add a figure from the tables to the book number, when necessary to distinguish different authors in the same class; e. g. Aldrich, A. R. Su A3 Aldrich, T: B. 811 A36 Simplified Book Numbers 55 32e Large book. For books larger than octavo in all classes, use initial only, unless an added figure is needed to distinguish, in which case the tables should be used. Prefix size mark to the book number. Use q for books between 25 and 35 cm in hight, and f for books 35-50 cm, x for 50-70 cm, y for 70-90 cm and z for all books over 90 cm; e. g. Child. Spanish-American republics. Q 918 qC In small libraries having very few books above q size, the books markt f, x, y and z may be kept together. 33 Title marks 33a Arrangement of titles. Arrange all titles of an author, in any given class, in alfabetic order as far as possible. For the first book add no mark for title unless there are likely to be many more books by the same author, in which case add a lower case letter for the first title. For subsequent books or for different editions add lower case initial of catch title; e. g. Lowell, J. R. Biglow papers. 1892 817 L 9 Meliboeus-Hipportax; the Biglow 817 papers. 1848 L9b " Fable for critics 817 L 9 f For treatment of second copy see 33d. 33b Titles with same initial. If two or more titles begin with the same iuitial, the second letter of the title may be added to distinguish all titles after the first; e. g. Scott, Sir Walter. Abbot S43 11 Betrothed 843b " Black dwarf S43M " Bride of Lammermoor S43br 33c Titles beginning with same two letters. If two or more titles begin with the same two letters the added letter may be selected from each title so as to secure alfabetic order; e. g. Barr, A. E. Last of the Macallisters B26I Lone house B26I0 " Lost silver B26IS Love for an hour B26IV Arbitrary letters may also be used for this purpose, 33d Second copy. Distinguish different copies of the same book by calling the first book cop. 1, the second, cop. 2, etc. In fiction treat different editions as different copies unless the edition is considerably alterd or abridged, in which case follow 33a; e. g. 56 Simplified Library School Rules Defoe. [Life and adventures of] Robinson Crusoe. 1868 JD3T cop. 1 1890 JD31 COp. 2 " " adapted for use of schools jD3ir For treatment of different editions aside from fiction, see 33a 34 Special classes 34a Juvenil books. Prefix j to call number of books which are specially suitable for young people; e. g. Knox. Boy travellers in South America. Q J918 qK Scudder. Children's book. O jqS 34b Large Classes. If a class in a library, e. g. poetry, is specially large, it may be wise to use in the book number, an initial and two figures from the tables, instead of one. 34c Local history and genealogy. If a library has many books on local history, the numbers may be given from the name of the place, or in genealogy from the name of the family; e. g. Gilman. Story of Boston 974-4 B 7 Kimball. Samuel Ames family 929 A 5 The rule should be uniform in any given library. 34d Books about an author. All books about an author may be placed in a single group with a book number from name of person written about, followd by z; e. g. Clarke. Familiar studies in Homer 883 H 7 z Nettleship. Essavs on Robert Browning's poetry 821 B8z. 35 Individual biografy 35a General arrangement. To keep lives of same person together, assign book numbers from name of person written about and not from author of book. 35b Length of number. Use initial of person written about and two figures from tables. Add a third figure from tables when necessary to distinguish; e. g. Ingram. Elizabeth Barrett Browning 92 B88 Gosse. Robert Browning personalia 92 B885 Simplified Book Numbers 57 35c Several lives of same person. Arrange lives of same person alfabeticly by authors, adding author's initial to book number of all after the first ; e. g. Adams. Christopher Columbus 92 C72 Elton. Career of Columbus 92 C72e Seelye. Story of Columbus J92 C72S Winsor. Christopher Columbus 92 C72W When there are many lives of a person, a lower case letter may be added to the number for first book. 35d Authors having same initial. To distinguish authors with same initial, follow analogy of rules for title marks (33b-c) ; e. g. Hale. Life of Washington 92 \V31h Hayden. Washington 92 W 3 iha Headley. Life of Washington 92 W 3 ihe Henley. " 92 W 3 ihn 36 Special schemes 36a Shakspere and other classics. In case of Shakspere, if the library has a large collection, it may be well to adopt a simple special scheme using; e. g. x Collected works. y Concordances, dictionaries, grammars, etc. z Books about the author, biografy, criticism, disputed author- ship, etc. This plan may be followd for other classics; e. g. Homer, Dante, etc. or for any author in case the number of books makes a special arrange- ment desirable. The following schemes will guide in assigning book numbers for many books by the same author in the same class. 36b Shakspere scheme. Use S5 followed by lower case initial of plays, arranged alfabeticly, according to 33 a-c. Distinguish two editions of the same play by adding initial of editor or publisher to second edition. In the following scheme, where two or more titles begin with the same letter, two letters are assignd to each, in order that the addition of another letter to dis- tinguish the edition may not separate books which should stand together; e. g. Rolfe's edition of All' s well that ends well coming in later would be markt Ssalr which would place it next another edition of the same play; if the first edition receivd had been markt S5 or Ssa the addition of the r for Rolfe would have made the book number Ssr or Ssar and have placed the book after Antony and Cleopatra, 58 Simplified Library School Rules Individual works S 5 al All's well that ends well S5mr S5an Antony and Cleopatra S51TIS Ssas As you like it S51TIU S5C0 Comedy of errors S50 S5cr Coriolanus Sspe Sscy Cymbeline Sspo S 5 hi Hamlet S5T2 S5I14 Henry 4 Ssr3 S 5 h 5 11 5 S5r4 S5h6 6 Ssta S5I18 " '8 Sste s 5 j Julius Caesar S 5 ti S 5 kj King John S 5 tn S 5 kl King Lear Sstr S 5 1 Love's labor lost S5U S5ma Macbeth Sstw Ssme Measure for measure S5W S5mh Merchant of Venice Merry wives of Windsor Midsummer night's dream Much ado about nothing Othello Pericles Poems, including sonnets Richard 2 Richard 3 -Romeo and Juliet Taming of the shrew Tempest Timon of Athens Titus Andronicus Troilus and Cressida Twelfth night Two gentlemen of Verona Winter's tale General ■works S5X Collected works Ssy Concordances, dictionaries, grammar, etc. S5Z Books about Shakspere, biografy, criticism, disputed author- ship, etc. If a more elaborate scheme is desired, add to R5 the numbers from Shakspere table given in Library notes, 2:16. 36c James Fenimore Cooper C77 Afloat and ashore C770 Oak openings C?7a Autobiography of a pocket- C77P Pathfinder handkerchief C77pi Pilot C77b Bravo C77PO Pioneers C77C Chainbearer C77 P r Prairie C77cr Crater C77PU Precaution C?7d Deerslayer C77r Red rover C 77 h Headsman C77re Redskins C77he Heidenmauer C77S Satanstoe C77I10 Home as found C77se Sea lions C77I1W I bimeward bound C77SP Spy C77J Jack Tier C 7 7t Two admirals C77I Last of the Mohicans C77W Water-witch C77H Lionel Lincoln C7 7wa Ways of the hour C77m Mercedes of Castile C77we Wept of Wish-ton-wish C77mi Miles Wallingford C77WI Wing and wing C7711K » Monikins C77wy Wyandotte C7711 Ned Myers Simplified Book Numbers 59 36d Sir Walter Scott S43 Abbot S43I Legend of Montrose S43 a Anne of Geierstein B43 m Monastery S43 an Antiquary S43my My Aunt Margaret's mirro S43 b Betrothed S430 Old Mortality S 4 3bl Black Dwarf S43P Peveril of the peak S43br Bride of Lammermoor S43Pi Pirate S43C Castle Dangerous S43q Quentin Durward S43ch Chronicles of the Canor.gate S431- Redgauntlet S43CO Count Robert of Paris S43 ro Rob Roy S43d Death of the Laird's Jock S43S St Ronan's well S 4 3f Fair maid of Perth S43SU Surgeon's daughter S43 fo Fortunes of Nigel s 43 t Talisman S43g Guy Mannering S43ta Tapestried chamber S43 h Heart of Mid-Lothian S43tw Two drovers S43 hi Highland widow S43W Waverley S431 Ivanhoe S43W0 Woodstock S43k Kenilworth 37 Arrangement without use of tables This is recommended only for a small, slowly growing library of less than 1000 volumes, where exact alfabetic order is unimportant. Under each class keep together names beginning with the same letter by marking books by the first author under any letter with the initial of the author's surname (for exceptions see 34C-d, 35a) ; books by the second or third author under that letter with the author's initial followd by 1, 2, 3, etc. ; e. g. if in class 942, history of England, the first books under G were Green's History of the English people, Gardiner's Outline of English history, and Guizot's History of England, and they were receivd in the order named, the book number of Green's History would be G, Gardiner's Outline would be Gi, and Guizot's History G2. All books, in any class, receivd at one time should be arranged in alfabetic order before the book numbers are assignd; e. g. if Gr, G2, G3 are already used and Gardiner, Green and Guizot come in at the same time they should receive the book numbers G4, G5, G6 respectivly. 37a Arbitrary title marks. In fiction or where there are many books by the same author, distinguish different works and different editions, if necessary, by adding to the book number the lower case letters a, b, c, etc ; e. g. if Green's History of the English people is G, his Short history would be Ga. Suggestions for a more accurate arrangement may be found in 33a-d. For treatment of juvenil books see 34a. In biografy the book number should be given from the name of the per- son written about and two or more lives of the same person distinguisht 60 Simplified Library School Rules by adding to the book number the lower case letters a, b, c, etc. ; e. g. if Adams' Christopher Columbus is Ci, Elton's Career of Columbus would be Cia. Suggestions for a more accurate arrangement may be found in 35a-d Simplified Shelf List Rules 6l SIMPLIFIED SHELF LIST RULES 40 Shelf list ' Importance. The shelf list is a record of the books in a library in the order in which they stand on the shelves. It is one of three indispensable library records; i. e. the accession book, the card catalog and the shelf list. The accession book is the first of these records to be fild, the shelf list the last. The card catalog is for public use, the accession book and shelf list usually for official use only. Use 40a Inventory. A library like a business house should, at regular intervals, usually once each year, take an inventory of its stock. Each entry in the shelf list should be compared with the corresponding book on the shelves, all errors corrected and a list of missing books made. 40b Brief clast catalog. As the shelf list is arranged primarily by subjects, it forms a brief clast catalog. This shows in what subjects the library is strong and where additions are needed. It also helps in classifying new books, defining more fully the scope of each class, and showing the kind of books groupt under each subject. If desired it may be used by the public in connection with a simple author card catalog, or with a dictionary card catalog, in the latter case securing in some measure the advantages of both a dictionary and a clast catalog. 40c Book numbers. Under each class the entries are arranged in the order of the book numbers, and the shelf list shows at a glance what numbers have already been assignd and guards against the use of the same number a second time. Form The two forms most commonly used are sheets and cards. For the small library, the list of fiction is best made on cards, all other subjects on sheets. Biografy may also be shelflisted on cards if the rapidity of additions of books in the class makes it desirable. Forms for both a shelf list on sheets and on cards may be found facing p. 67 and on p. 66-67. For convenience, the rules and sample cards are based on the use of the Abridged decimal classification and Cutter's Alfabetic-order tables altered and fitted with three figures by Kate E. Sanborn. 40d Sheets. The best form of sheet is 10 x 25 cm (about 4 x 10 inches) and these are fastend into binders, each holding about 100 sheets. Only one subject is written on a sheet so that new sheets can be inserted wherever necessary, the numeric order being maintaind and unneces- sary copying avoided. 62 Simplified Library School Rules 40e Cards. Some libraries prefer a card shelf list to one on sheets. New entries can be inserted in their exact place and it is consequently never necessary to rewrite. Great care should be taken that cards are not lost or misplaced. A shelf list on cards is open to the same objection as a card catalog — only one entry can be read at a time, while on the sheets several entries can be read at a glance. The card list is much less safe against removal of entries in case of theft of books and therefore less adapted to an inventory. 41 Shelf list on sheets General Rules 4ia-r are for a shelf list on 10 x 25 cm sheets. For variations necessary for a shelf list on cards see 42a-j. 41a Arrangement of entries. Arrange entries as books are arranged on the shelves; first, by class number, treated decimally; second, by book number, arranged, 1) alfabeticly by the capital letter, 2) numericly by numbers following the capital, treated decimally. 41b Number of entries. Enter only one subject on a sheet, thus allow- ing for additions, but leave no lines between book entries. In classes where there are many entries, e. g. individual biografy (4iq) it is best to begin each letter on a new sheet, thus avoiding large mixt alfabets and frequent rewriting. 41c Date. Put in the middle of upper margin of recto of each sheet the date when first entry is made; e. g. 13 Je 94, see sample shelf sheet 1-2. When the sheet is withdrawn add after a dash the date of rewrit- ing; e. g. 13 Je 94-17 Ap 98. 4ld Class number. Write class number in prominent figures on top line of sheet after the word ' Class '. 4ie Book number. Write book number in its column making the figures very clear and distinct. For use of printed form of letters in call numbers see Simplified card catalog rules, 8m. 4if Accession number. Write accession number in its column with dash between inclusive figures; e. g. 3342-7. Give a separate line to all accession numbers not consecutiv; e. g. 2134 v. 1 2180 v. 2 • of sets having many accession numbers not consecutiv, the numbers may irranged in four columns in order to save space. Sample shelf sheet 1. 4ig Volume number. Put number of volumes, if more than one, in volume column ; if the library contains part of a set, write; e. g. v. 1, or, v. 2-6; write also 2 in 1 ; 6 in 3; v. 9', v.9 . Sample shelf sheet 1-2. In ease of annuals where there is no volume number, use the year in volume column. On bookplates instead of v.i, v.9 1 , v.o 1 , etc. write 1, o lf Oj, etc. 4lh Author. Write author's surname in its column, using no punctua- tion. In case of two joint authors write surname of each; if more than two, write surname of first and c & others.' Sample shelf sheet 1. Simplified Shelf List Rules 63 In fiction and when necessary to distinguish different authors having same surname, give initials of forenames, using colon abbreviations where applicable. 4li Title. Write brief title in its column with no punctuation. If the shelf list is to be used chiefly as a stock-taking book, use binder's title If used mainly as a subject catalog, use a short or well-known title taking great care in shortening title that it may be at once clear, and comprehensiv. Use library abbreviations in all entries, see 52. Other obvious contractions may also be used if necessary. Add in curves, in briefest form, the name of series if well-known; e. g. (Am. men of let.) 4.1J Unalfabeted entries. In adding to a shelf list leave one line vacant after the continuous alfabet and add new entries as they come, with no attempt at alfabeting. Whenever a new book number is assignd, pencil it in its proper place in the continuous alfabet; otherwise the whole of the mixt alfabet must be lookt thru to ascertain whether a given book number has been assignd. Rewrite the sheet and combine into one alfabet when the unalfabeted entries become so numerous as to be inconvenient. 41k Old sheets. When the new shelf sheets have been written, arrange withdrawn shelf sheets in order of class numbers and save for reference. Special cases 41I Second copy.

Capitalize first word of every sentence and of every line of poetry. 50b Book titles. Capitalize first word of every title, or alternativ title, of books or periodicals; but not 'laws,' 'acts,' 'statutes,' and similai general terms; e. g., 'provided in laws of 1892, ch. 378.' This rule allows capitals for Bible, Scriptures, Book of Mormon, etc. Write also Holy Bible, la Sainte Bible, Holy Scriptures of the Old and New testaments. In quoting book titles omit initial article w r hen not essential to mean- ing, as it hides the leading word, which should stand out clearly to catch the eye, and treat the word following the article as the first word; e. g. History of David Grieve not The history of David Grieve. Write also, for example, the Times, the Nation. See also Simplified card catalog rules, 4a, c. 5CC Proper names. Capitalize names of persons, places, and distinctiv but not generic parts of names of political divisions, geografic features (rivers, lakes, mountains, etc.) streets, churches, institutions, organiza- tions, railways, banks, hotels, theaters, halls, business blocks, etc. unless the generic precedes the distinctiv name, or is so far a misnomer as to become distinctiv; e. g. Donaldson's New Cratylus, Hudson river, Seneca lake, Plymouth church, Harvard university, Skull and Bones society, Park aw, Park avenue hotels (hotels in Park av.) but Park Avenue hotel (distinguishing name of a particular hotel) Hotel Vendome, Lake Michi- gan, Bracebridge Hall. 50d Proper adjectivs. Capitalize such adjectivs from names of persons or places as reputable usage does not justify in lower case; e. g. American, Italian, but galvanic, boycotted, quixotic, indian (aboriginal American) arabic (in 'arabic figures,' 'gum arabic') etc. Adjectivs, common nouns, etc. derived from names of persons and places and at first capitalized are constantly losing this distinction as they come into more common use and their origin is forgotten. 50e I and O. Capitalize pronoun I and interjection O. 50f Months, days, etc. Capitalize months, days of week and distinctiv but not generic parts of names of holidays, feast and fast days; e. g. Thanksgiving day, Lincoln's birthday. Punctuation 69 5njuc. kxx/Y\xU*rcncrk. of t&\_a- & C VuojTY^JfJLojuy-^. , T\Juooocxaxx , TTlcrn£ BcXJt.
