Information Technology and Application

Notes These objectives can still be recognized in more modern definitions formulated throughout the
20th century. 1960/61 Cutter’s objectives were revised by Lubetzky and the Conference on
Cataloguing Principles (CCP) in Paris. The latest attempt to describe a library catalogue’s goals
and functions was made in 1998 with Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)
which defines four user tasks: find, identify, select, and obtain.

1.8 Types of Catalogue Card

Traditionally, these are the following types of catalogue:
Author card: a formal catalogue, sorted alphabetically according to the authors’ or editors’
names of the entries.
Title catalogue: a formal catalogue, sorted alphabetically according to the title of the
entries.
Dictionary catalogue: a catalogue in which all entries (author, title, subject, and series) are
interfiled in a single alphabetical order. This was the primary form of card catalogue in
North American libraries just prior to the introduction of the computer-based catalogue.
Keyword catalogue: a subject catalogue, sorted alphabetically according to some system of
keywords.
Mixed alphabetic catalogue forms: sometimes, one finds a mixed author/title, or an author/
title/keyword catalogue.
Systematic catalogue: a subject catalogue, sorted according to some systematic subdivision
of subjects. Also called a classified catalogue.
Shelf list catalogue: a formal catalogue with entries sorted in the same order as biblio-
graphic items are shelved. This catalogue may also serve as the primary inventory for the
library.
