What is Cataloguing • Cataloguing is a process of making entries into a catalogue in order for users to easily locate the materials in the library. • A process of preparing a book to be put on the shelves. A catalogue is a bibliographic information about the library holdings which make it easy for users to know and access available library resources.
- 4. Objectives of Cataloguing 1. It helps the users to know whether a particular book by a particular author with a particular title, edition, publisher and year is available in the library.
- 5. Objectives of Cataloguing (cont.) 2. The catalogue brings together in a single place all works of a given author whether personal or corporate.
- 6. Objectives of Cataloguing (cont.) 3. The subject catalogue brings together all the works on a given topic in the library.
- 7. CATALOGUE INPUT In cataloguing, a book material usually has three inputs: 1. The main entry: Author, Title and Subject 2. The Descriptive Cataloguing: Title, place of responsibility, edition statement, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, collation, ISBN 3. The Added Entry: Subject heading, Title heading
- 8. Main Entry The main entry is the heading of the bibliographic record through which user can search for the information resources (books, journal, magazine) in the library. Catalogue is designed under three entries: Author, Title, and Subject, after which other information that describe the materials such as, collation, ISBN/ISSN, join authors/editors(if available) and subject headings were written. See this as main entrance to the house through the doors
- 9. Descriptive cataloguing Descriptive cataloguing enumerates all relevant information contained on the title page, its verso, the back cover and its physical form. This includes title,, edition, place(s) of publication, the publisher and the date of publication. Following this is collation that comprises pagination, illustrations, book height, series information, notes and International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) Note: Descriptive cataloging can be detailed or limited depending on the nature of the library system. For instance an academic and research library will adopt the detailed descriptive cataloguing while a limited cataloguing will be enough for a school library.
- 10. Added Entries • Also known as tracings, these are the other entries which cover all the approaches that a user can use to look for material in the library. This includes joint authors, editors, title and series approach. Note: Added entries for subject is indicated with Arabic numeral 1,2,3… while added entries for authors, titles, series, sponsor are indicated with Roman numerals I, II, III… See this as entering the house through the windows
- 11. CATALOGUE ENTRIES There are other various ways of entry in cataloguing but the most common are three. These are: 1. Author Heading 2. Subject Heading 3. Title Heading Please note that year, ISBN, publisher and many other fields could also be used to search for materials in online/automated catalogue.
- 12. 1. AUTHOR HEADING ENTRY The author heading covers the name of the principal author, personal or corporate, if any can be assigned the responsibility of the work. Where no clear author emerges the title is used for the main entry. The name of the author starts with the surname followed by the forenames with the inclusion of the date of birth where known as optional.
- 13. 2. SUBJECT HEADING ENTRY Subject headings are used in creating a subject catalogue. Books and other materials on such subject are entered and filed alphabetically. The two most used lists to determine such subject headings are Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and Sears Lists of A Subject Headings.
- 14. 3. TITLE HEADING ENTRY • The title heading entry starts with the title of the material which is written boldly. Other bibliographic information then follows such as the name of the author, year, place, publisher, ISBN/ISSN etc.
