Excerpt from Cataloging Rules: With Explanations and Illustrations
The following code of rules is a revision of Library School Bulletin 36, issued by the New York State Library, which was in turn a revision of the stenciled directions used in conducting the cataloging course in the New York State Library School, 1911-1914. These directions were first prepared to save the time previously devoted to note-taking in class, and to furnish fuller information than could be given in class or otherwise be provided in the limited time devoted to the course, with a view to furnish ing not only the instructions necessary for class exercises but a compilation useful for reference in later work. With these aims in mind the attempt was made to answer as many as possible of the questions which had arisen in the author's experience in the actual work of cataloging and in years of contact with library school students. As a result numerous details were included which may to many seem petty and superfluous but which had shown themselves to be very substantial stumbling blocks to persons first struggling with the actual problems.
