C. card, 6-35007 PREFATORY NOTE To supersede first issue of May, 1903 (rules 1—2) and second issue of March, 1905 (rules i-ii) Corrections and amendments which affect rules so far issued on cards are included in this the third issue in pamphlet form. Beginning with the rules for "Collation" and "Series note," dated April 20, 1903, the Catalog Division has issued and will continue to issue from time to time some of its special rules and illustrations, mainly supple- mentary to Cutter and the A. L. A. rules. The printed rules will be issued in two forms : (i) On cards. (2) In pamphlet form. A copy of each card will be sent free of charge to subscribers to the L. C. cards ; copies may be ordered by others from the Card Section in the same manner as the regular cards. The price will be the same — two cents for the first card and one -half cent for each additional card required for any rule. Cards may be ordered in sets, or for any one rule by quoting name or number of rule. A copy of the rules in pamphlet form will be sent free of charge to sub- scribers to the cards. Additional copies may be purchased at 5 cents each, from the Library of Congress (to be charged against deposits for printed cards if desired) or from the Superintendent of Documents. • Washington, D.

(Rule 3, printed Aug. 12, 1903) 1. When a book is a complete and independent publication, is not bound with another work and not issued as part of a periodical, series or other publication, the call number for the book is to be written in the upper left corner of the catalog card. 2. When a book is bound with another work or issued as part of a serial or other publication, and the latter is kept together as a set, the call number is not to be written in the upper left corner of the card but in the left margin opposite the series note or title of the work with which the book in question is found. Examples : Conway, J[ames] J. . . . The beginnings of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the arch- diocese of St. Louis, 1764-1776. By Rev. J. J. Conway, s. j. St. Louis, The Society, 1897.

Bibliotheque des Ecoles fran^'aises d'Athcnes et de Rome, fasc. 1, ii. 3. Call numbers are to be placed on all series cards. When the series is kept together write the call number in the upper left corner. When the various works are separately classified and shelved with the different subjects, the call numbers for th^ individual works are to be placed in the left margin opposite the titles to which they refer. When the Library has two sets of a series, the first of which is kept together and the volumes of the second are classified and shelved separately according to their respective subjects, the call numbers for the individual volumes of this second set are to be given on the card or cards containing the summary of the set, thus: The Library has a second set, the volumes of which are shelved accord- ing to subjects, as follows : Z154.A54 = v. 1. GE135.S12 = v. 2. GL254.G32 = v. 3^. In listing the second set the titles of the individual volumes are not to be repeated when the volume numbers are ascertainable. When the volumes are not numbered, the second set is to be listed in the briefest manner, by giving the call numbers of the individual volumes in conjunction with author's name or brief title. These cases are always to be referred to the reviser. SUPPLEMENTING A. L. A. RULES 11 ANNOTATION. (Rule 4, printed Jan. 7, 1904) The distinction between cataloging and the more strictly bibliographi- cal work of annotation is not to be lost sight of. It should be borne in mind that the ideal entry for the card catalog is the one in Avhich everything (author, title, collation, necessary notes and added entries) can go on a single printed card, which usually will carry as much as the face of two or three manuscript cards, or of two cards with an average number of added entries on the back. Naturally, certain old and rare books, collected works and books covering a large num- ber of subjects will need fuller treatment and consequently require a second or third printed card. But reprints can not be treated with the same degree of fullness, and long notes on modern works in gen- eral are to be avoided. RECATALOGING. (Rule 5, printed Jan. 7, 1904) 1. By classes. — Sections will be assigned for recataloging in the order of their sequence on the shelves. The shelf-hst sheets for any given subdi\dsion are to serve as a guide in the withdrawal of cards from the official and pubhc catalogs. The following desig- nations have been used in the shelf-list : A check mark ( J ) above the entry word denotes that the work is rep- resented bj' a ms. card or cards in the old author catalog only. The abbreviation "cat." in the first column denotes that the card has been printed, new numbers and subject headings assigned. The abbreviation "T. C." denotes that a temporary entry has been written for some pamphlet or ephemeral publication which, while classified, is not to be regularly cataloged unless approved by the reviser. N. B. — As a rule, no cards are to be withdrawn when titles are checked ."cat." or "T. C." The books are nevertheless to be removed from the shelves in order that the section may be retained intact. 2. When cards have been printed, but the main card in the official catalog shows that no subject has been assigned, or that only one or more preliminary subject headings have been assigned (indicated by the abbreviation "p. s.") and that call numbers are to be changed, the procedure is as follows : (a) All author and subject cards in the oflScial catalog, i. e. all cards which contain shelf-marks, are to be withdrawn. (b) The main card is to be compared with the book in order that attention may be called to possible discrepancies and errors. If no actual error is found and no subject headings are to be added, the changes to be made are usually the following : 1. The shelf-mark* is to be changed. 2. The author's name is to be inserted in the title in the form in which it appears on the title-page 3. The imprint, collation and series note are to be made to agree with the printed rules (Suppl. rules 1-2, April 20, 1903, and 12, Aug. 30, 1905) The cards are then to be forwarded to the section charged with addi- tions and corrections of cards in the public catalog. *In copying shelf-marks which contain a decimal figure in the section number, write the decimal on a separate line, e. g. DA308 not DA308.5, ,5 12 SPEC FA L BULKS ON CATALOGING RECATALOGING— Continued. (c) When no subject or only a preliminary subject or subjects have been assigned, the necessary headings are to be added, the letters "n. s." being prefixed to each. The cards are thereupon to be forwarded with the book to the reviser, in order to insure revision of all new subject headings, 3. When the entry has not been printed, all cards from the old author catalog, as well as from the official catalog, are to be -withdrawn. In preparing the main card for printing it is to be submitted to a careful revision by- the cataloger as well as the reviser. It is not to be rewritten provided the necessary additions and corrections can be made without impairing the legibility of the entry. N. B. — Cards in the old author catalog marked with a "C" in the upper right-hand corner are represented by typewritten copies in the official catalog. In the latter any date earlier than Jan. 1, 1900, stamped on the face of the card indicates that a copy is to be found also in the old author catalog. 4. When books are missing the following method of procedure is to be observed : If no other entry than the one in the old author catalog is found, the cards are to be withdrawn and copied on standard-size "temporary cards" for the public catalog as nearly as possible in accordance with the present form of entry. The old (large) card is to be retained as a memorandum and to be turned over to the Chief of the Division. Abridged copies will be made for the official catalog and card shelf- list. (Catalogers are not to make these copies) The date on which the book is found to be missing is to be penciled in the left margin of each card. 5. When works have been analyzed, care must be taken to withdraw all added entries, analyticals and cross-references. In the old author catalog, particularly Avhen the authors' surnames have been under- scored in the contents, a search is to be made for analytical entries. When these are found the reviser shall decide on one of two courses : (a) Analyticals to be witlidrawn and revised for printing. (b) Analyticals to be withdrawn and copied for the public catalog, but not to be revised for printing. 6. In cataloging a new accession of which the Library alread}'" pos- sesses one or more editions, the latter are to be recataloged imme- diately, provided they bear the shelf-marks of the new classifica- tion. 7. Information of any kind concerning author, book, edition, etc., given on old cards, whether in the form of notes or incorporated in the entry, must not be ignored in rewriting entries or adding to them ; it is never to be canceled without being referred to a reviser. Note. — The above will replace the corresponding rules of Sept. 28, 1901, Dec. 26, 1901, Marcli 7, 1902, and Feb. 28, 1903. SVPPLEMENTLXG A. L. A. RULES 13 ADDED ENTRIES {noi including subject cntj'ies '=' ) (Kule 6, printed Jan. 7, 1904) Hereafter the added entries for joint authors, editors, translators, etc. , are to appear on the face of the printed card. Special care is there- fore to be taken to write these entries on the back of the card in the exact form in which they are to appear as headings in the catalog. They should also be numbered, in black ink, in the order of their importance, so that they may be easily distinguished from other notes. The following abbreviations will be used : joint author (not abbreviated) compiler = comp. editor = ed. joint editor = joint ed. illustrator = iilus. publisher = pub. translator = tr.

Two places connected by and, und, et, etc., dash (-) or other device, with publisher's name either preceding or following. — Give imprint in the usual order and include the conjunction : Leipzig und Wien, Bibliographisches institut, 1900. Arnhem-Nijmegen, E. & M. Cohen [1899] 7. Public documents. — In state and city publications, especially those of serial character, when there are frequent changes of place and publisher (or printer), omit publisher. Give the name of the first-mentioned place, followed by [Ctc, using pencil when the first volume of the series is lacking, cf. Rule for Periodicals. 8. Imprints without publisher' s or printer's name. — If the name of neither publisher nor printer appears on the t.-p. but the printer's name is given on the verso of the t.-p., at the end of the volume, or elsewhere in the book, this information is to be supplied in brackets even though the name of the publisher is ascertainable. Thus, if the volume has only "Washington, 1882" as imprint, but on the verso of the t.-p. "Baltimore, AV. K. Boyle, printer," Give: Washington [Baltimore, W. K. Boyle, printer] 1882. If, on the contrary, the t. -p. has a full imprint, as ' ' New York, The Macmillan company, 1898," and on the verso "New Era printing co., Lancaster, Penna.," no notice of the latter is ordi- narily to be taken in cataloging. When bibliographically im- portant or otherwise of interest, the printer's name should be added ; as, London, N. Triibner [Colombo, S. J. A. Skeen, printer] Paris, Dentu [Guernsey, Imprimerie universelle] 9. Addition of name of state or countrii after place of publication. — When the place of publication is not well known or is one of several cities of the same name, the cataloger should add the abbrevia- tion of the state or country, bracketing it if it does not appear on the t. -p. ; as, Amherstburg [Ont.]; Rome [N. Y.]; Rome [Ga.j It is unnecessary to add state or country abbreviations after the names of the principal cities, as New York, Philadelphia, Lon- don, Paris, etc. , though they are to be given if they occur on thQ t.-p.

Leipzig, 1898. not Leipzig, 1898. Druck von C. H. Schulze & co. in Griifenliaini- chen. 11. Fictitious imprints. — Give imprint as found on t.-p., followed by actual imprint in brackets, as follows : Paris, Imprimerie Vincent, 1798 [Z. e. Bruxelles, Moens, 1883] Imaginary imprints are to be treated as part of the title of the work, when the real imprint can be ascertained, the latter fol- lowing in brackets in the usual position ; as, Morande, Charles Thevenot de, h. 1748. Le gazetier cuirasse, ou, Anecdotes scandaleuses de la cour de France. Imprime ii cent lieues de la Bastille. [Londres] 1771. 12. If the place or publisher varies in the different volumes of a set, the fact is to be stated in a note. 13.

Language of imprint. — The imprint is to be given as found on the t. -p. and is neither to be translated nor transliterated. Date. 1. Undated t.-p. — "When there is no date on the t.-p., but the preface is dated, give the date of the latter preceded by "pref." and en- closed within brackets ; as. New York, E. Steiger [pref. 1892] If, however, it is possible to ascertain the actual date of publica- tion from other sources, this date is to be given in the imprint Avithin brackets, the date of the preface being given in a note only when there is a wide discrepancy between it and the ascertained date of publication. 2. Irregularly dated t.-p. — When the work consists of many volumes with different dates, whether of the same or of different editions, give in the imprint the inclusive dates separated by a dash and state in a note or in contents the dates of the individual volumes and the numbers of their respective editions. Example : Bancroft, George, 1800-1891. History of the United States from the discovery of the American continent. Boston, Little, Brown & co., 1838-74. 10 V. 22*""'. V. 1, 15th ed., 1857; v. 2, 4th ed., 1838; v. 3, 3d ed., 1840; v. 4-10, 1852-74. 20 SPECIAL RULES ON CATALOGING IMPRINT— Continued. When only one volume (e. g. the first one) is irregularly dated, as in the case of collected works with an introductory volume issued after the others, the date may be given in the following form : 1876-79 [V. 1, '79] When there are only two volumes in a work, give the dates in the order of the volumes, separated by a comma in place of the usual dash. Thus : Collignon, Edouard i. c. Romain Charles Edouard, 1831- Cours de inecanique appliquee aux constrnction.s ... Paris, Dunod, 1885, '80. 2 V. tables, diagrs. 24J°"'. 1. ptie.: 3. ed.; 2. ptie. : 2. ed. rev. et augm. 3. Copyright dates. — a. ^^^hen there is no date on the t.-p. of a copy- righted book, give the date of copyright in imprint, preceded by a superior " c " and bracketed ; as, New York, H. Holt & co. ["1894] It is not usually necessary to do this in the case of current publi- cations when the exact year of issue is known from other sources. b. If the date of the copyright entry is earlier than the date of issue, the former need only be given in exceptional cases, for instance when the existence and date of an earlier (first) issue or edition have not been definitely established, or when a more precise date can not be given. Examples : a. AVheii the t.-p. is dated, write: 1902 [n899] b. When the t.-p. is not dated, but bears copyright notice, write: [1902, n878. c. When there is no date on the t.-p. and the date of copyright printed on the verso of t.-p. differs from that furnished by the records of the Copyright office, give the former in the imprint and the latter in a note. DISSERTATIONS. (Rule 13, printed Aug. 30, 1905 — Supplementing A. L. A. Advance ed., sect. 39; Cutter, 4th ed., sect. 6) The title-pages of dissertations generally embody a more or less uniform statement in regard to the faculty or institution before which the thesis is presented, and of the degree for which its author is a candidate. It is unnecessary to repeat this statement in full in every title. The essen- tial parts can best be given in a note. (See examples under the rule which follows) The title is to be given in the briefest form omitting author's name, etc. Note 1. — Rules (not in print) of July 23 and Nov. 12, 1901, on abbrevia- tions and omissions are therefore not to affect titles of dissertations.

I For publications which, according to Library of Congress rules, may be entered under the name of a corporate body, a society, institution, government department, or the like, but which, according to the rules of many foreign libraries, are treated as anonymous, and are therefore likely to be looked for under title. When there are several editions of the same work, only one, prefer- ably the latest, is to have added title entry. The card for this edition is to be stamped : "For other editions hce ..." ADDED ENTRIES (SEVERAL EDITIONS) (Rule 19, printed Dec. 20, 1905— To replace previous suppl. rule of Aug. 6, 1901) When there are several editions of the same work in the Library, only one is as a rule to be represented under subject, translator, editor, or added title entry. As far as practicable this edition is to be the most useful (earhest or latest) or the most valuable (best edited, first, or rarest) as the case may be. *NoTE. — This will include practically all entries under heading.^ not taken directly from the title (and usually enclosed within square brackets) t Annual reports, proceedings and transactions of societies, institutions, and other bodies are, as a rule, to be excepted unless the title is significant. SUPPLEMENTING A. L. A. RULES 25 ADDED ENTRIES (SEVERAL EDITIONS)— Continued. Translations, one from each language (as far as practicable the best or most useful when there are several) are also to be entered under the subject. The author card for that edition or translation which is to be repre- sented under the added entries is to be distinguished as follows : To the left of the added entries (on the face or back of the card, as the case may be) write : ' ' Stamp ' for other editions. ' ' ' On the author cards for other editions write, in the place indicated above, the word "Stamped." When the cards have been thus marked and a new edition necessi- tates further added entries (new editor, additional subjects, etc.) special care must be taken to indicate clearly on the author card that the new entries are to be written by the copyists, and are not to be omitted from the catalog. For this purpose neiv added entries are to be distinguished by the word ' ' Write. ' ' TITLES AND TITLE-PAGES IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. (Rule 20, printed Feb. 2i, 1906. cf. A. L. A. rule 57) 1. Title-pages and text in two languages. Of title-pages in different languages, with text likewise in more than one language, choose the one which is printed in roman or gothic characters. When neither title-page is printed in roman or gothic, or when they are both in one or the other of these types, select the one which is in the original language. When the original language cannot be ascertained, the main title-page is to be chosen, or, when that cannot be determined, the first. INIention in a note the unused title and the text. Note. — The added title is to be quoted when it contains additional infor- mation of importance. 2. Title-pages in different languages, text in one language. When there are two title-pages with text in only one language, the title-page which agrees with the text is to be followed. Exceptions to this are Greek, Russian, Oriental, and occasionally also Ameri- can Indian texts with title-pages in the original and also in Latin, French, English, or some other language which employs roman or gothic characters. Here the title in roman or gothic is always to be selected. Mention in a note the unused title and the text. 3. One title-page with titles in two languages. When the title is printed in two languages on the same title-page (there being but one) give both titles with the customary abbrevia- tions and notes. Exception. When one of the titles is in a language which employs characters other than roman or gothic, it is to be omitted, only the title which is in roman or gothic type l)eing then given. A note is to be made of the unused title and the text. 26 SPECIAL RULES ON CATALOGING TITLES AND TITLE-PAGES IN DIFFERENT LAN GU AGES— Continued. Note 1. — In early and rare books, or wlien souie material variation exists between the two titles, both are to be given.
