 ENTRY AND HEADING 
 
 a) Personal authors — under whom as author 
 2) Joint author entry. Give only the first author in the heading. 
 
 15) Indexes. Catalogue separately indexes to serials covering more 
 than two years, all indexes to the same serial to be catalogued on the same 
 entry if practicable. An index that has been superseded by a later one 
 need not be catalogued separately if not issued separately. Specify all 
 indexes covering more than two years in a note to the entry for the serial. 
 
 In the case of indexes covering long periods of time, and preceded or 
 followed regularly by indexes for shorter periods, e. g. an index to 50 volumes, 
 with indexes to every 10, catalogue the latter as a "dash" entry on the 
 card for the larger index. Brief author indexes and comprehensive tables of 
 contents are, as a rule, not to have separate entries, but should be noted on the 
 entry for the serial to which they belong. 
 
 b) Personal authors — under what part or form of name 
 
 25) Gemian and Austrian names like Jiiptner von Jonstorff, Sigmund von 
 Ilanor, Philippovich von Philippsberg, are to be printed in that way, not 
 Philippovich, Freiherr von Philippsberg. 
 
 Authority: Siebmachcr's Wappenbuch. 
 
 28) Unused forenames. Use form prescribed in note. 
 
 31) In the case of names of ancient, medieval or renaissance authors, 
 consisting of forenames and local or other designations that are well estab- 
 lished as parts of their names, underline the whole name for boldface type. 
 
 35) Titles of nobility, etc. Follow L. C. practice as stated in foot-note; 
 do not use the titles General and Admiral in headings except when needed 
 for identificaiion. 
 
 36) Epithets, etc. When such epithets have the form of real surnames, 
 they may be printed in boldface type. 
 
 38) Pseudonyms. Follow L. C. practice as stated in foot-note. 
 
 46) Sovereigns. Follow L. C. practice as stated in foot-note. 
 
 52-56) Oriental writers. Follow in the main the fonn of name adopted 
 in the catalogues of the British Museum, using western fonn for main head- 
 ing in cases of doubt. Transpose the article as suggested in foot-note. 
 
 c) Corporate bodies as authors 
 General rule. Use in headings the latest form of the name of a corporate 
 body unless the change is the result of consoHdation, in which case enter 
 serial publications under the latest name, non-serial under the name at 
 the time of issue. When a corporate body has a definite location, give 
 the place in the heading, in italics, unless it occurs as part of the name, 
 and even in the latter case when needed to avoid ambiguity.
 
 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY 2 
 
 Government publications 
 
 58) General rule. Enter government offices the name of which can 
 not be ascertained in the vernacular or English, under the name indicated 
 in the publication at hand. Adjectives and nouns designating country, 
 which are parts of the name of government offices, need not be repeated 
 in the subheading. 
 
 59) Bureaus or offices subordinate to a department. Enter offices 
 subordinate to a department of the U. S. federal government or of an 
 American state government as subheadings under the department. Enter 
 U. S. federal and state governinent offices or divisions which at different 
 times have been subordinate to different bureaus in the same department, 
 directly under the department, and bureaus which at different times have 
 been subordinate to more than two departments, directly under the U. S. 
 or the state. Use henceforth the form U. S. instead of U. S. A. 
 
 62) Laws. Follow L. C. practice as stated in foot-note. 
 68) Constitutions. Follow L. C. practice as stated in foot-note. 
 70) Charters. Enter compilations including "Charters and ordinances" 
 under Ordinances, with aae. under Charters. 
 
 Societies 
 72) General rule. Adopt alternative a) 2 for American state societies. 
 78) Learned societies whose names begin with K. K., R., L, etc. The 
 
 following note is printed on cards and inserted in the author catalogue 
 under such words and abbreviations as Konigliche, K. k.. Imperial, etc.: 
 
 " is as a rule not used in alphabeting, even though the heading begins 
 
 with it. For an entry not found here, see the next word in the heading." 
 
 Institutions (Establishments) 
 
 83) Enter hospitals and charitable institutions under the. name of the 
 place and refer from the name of the institution. L. C. supplementary 
 rule 36. 
 
 Miscellaneous bodies or organizations 
 
 loi) International meetings. 105) Conventions, conferences. Cata- 
 logue individually the proceedings of such meetings, both national and 
 international, unless they are published as parts of a set or the meetings 
 are held at regular intervals of one year or less. 
 
 When the name of a congress, for which individual entries are made 
 for each session, changes, use the last fonn of name for all publications if the 
 change is one of form only, but when the change implies a change of scope, 
 enter each under its name, with mutual general cross references. 
 
 109) Firms. In case of manufacturing firms, take the place from the 
 works rather than from the office; if a firm has works and offices in sev- 
 eral places and the location of the headquarters cannot be ascertained no 
 place is to be given. Use form Appleton ^ Co., D. 
 
 Abbreviate the word Company in headings and imprints, when pre- 
 ceded bv "and".
 
 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY 3 
 
 d) Title entry 
 
 112) Anonymous. Make no added entry under name of place. 
 
 116) Anonymous. When spelling or compounding is not in accordance 
 with the Century dictionary, make added entry under the forni preferred 
 by it; also under any form asked for by the Reference Librarian. 
 
 121) Periodicals. In case of a current or very incomplete serial the 
 editors need not be enumerated, except those long or prominently con- 
 nected with it; but in such cases make a list of all the editors on a type- 
 written card for the shelf lister's continuation catalogue. 
 
 Almanacs or similar publications, editions of which are issued at fre- 
 quent though irregular intervals, may be catalogued and shelved as a set. 
 
 When a periodical is the organ of one or more societies, give the names 
 of these in the entry, and make added entries for them; if the number of 
 these societies varies, they may be omitted with the approval of the Council. 
 
 Enter a regular periodical issued by a government office under its title, 
 if this is distinctive. In doubtful cases entry under the office is to be 
 preferred. 
 
 128) Series entry. Make separate cards for all series of which com- 
 plete sets are ordered or expected by gift. Make the following note on cards 
 for series not shelved together: "The volumes in this series are shelved ac- 
 cording to their subjects. Cards for the individual works follow that for the 
 series in the author catalogue." 
 
 e) Miscellaneous rules 
 
 130) Geographic headings. Use the Century encyclopedia of names 
 as chief authority in choice of form; but if the practice of the Library of 
 Congress differs, follow that. 
 
 131) Modified vowels. When there is doubt as to the author's own 
 practice, give preference to the umlaut in the heading. Always arrange 
 the cards as printed. 
 
 TITLES 
 
 136) Title. If the author's name stands at head of the title and in 
 the nominative, or if it is found elsewhere in the book than on the title- 
 page, state the fact in a note. 
 
 When the title-page of a book gives a list of fewer than five collabor- 
 ators, include all the names in the title, or in a note if the title is long. If it 
 contains more than five and there is no general editor, give the first and last 
 names in the title; but if the work has a known general editor, give only the 
 first name, followed by the words "and others", or their equivalents in other 
 languages, in addition to that of the editor. 
 
 Follow the title-page exactly in regard to use of long s, and of v for 
 u and i for j in books of all dates printed in Roman type. 
 
 138) Misprints or errors of spelling. Indicate a wrongly spelled name 
 by adding the correct form in brackets, preceded by "t. e."
 
 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY 4 
 
 i39j Additions to title. Whenever an entry is to be made under the 
 Merrill number for a place, add the name of that place to the title, if not 
 given there or in the headin<^^ 
 
 145) Titles and title-pages in different languages. For Swiss serial 
 publications using German and French titles indiscriminately, use the 
 German. 
 
 In all cases, quote in a note the unused title, abbreviated if necessary. 
 
 148) Edition. Copy the statement specifying the edition without 
 abbreviating it. When a title-page has no statement of edition, but the 
 book is known to be in other edition than the first, add the edition in brackets. 
 
 In the case of completed works in several volumes give in the title the 
 first and last volume numbers, if they occur on the title-pages. 
 
 IMPRINT, COLLATION, SERIES NOTE 
 
 152) Omit from imprints and notes such words as Inc., Ltd, E. V., 
 G. m. b. H., in name of ptiblishing firm or printing house, unless it is the 
 only designation besides a single name. 
 
 Use initials only for publisher's or printer's forenames; but in case of 
 doubt as to whether a name is a forename or the name of another member of 
 a firm or the first part of a compound surname, give it in full. 
 
 When no publisher is given, give the name of the printer, adding [print.] 
 unless the name of the firm shows that it is a printing, not a publishing firm. 
 
 Such phrases as, "Published by", "Verlag von", etc., are to be retained 
 when the publisher is a society or institution, but not in the case of com- 
 mercial finns. 
 
 The phrase "Printed by" must always be given in the imprint; a phrase 
 like "Printed and sold by" should not be given in the case of modern books, 
 but should be given for books printed before the year iSoi. 
 
 Capitalize always the first word following the name of the i)lacc. 
 
 See also log. 
 
 150-157J Place. Publisher. Date. L. C. supplementary rule 12 
 (p. 47-49). 3) In case of books in several volumes, with different places 
 or publishers or both, give the place and publisher of the first volume in 
 the imprint, the others in a note, except when the book has only two volumes, 
 in which case gi\-e both statements in the imprint. 
 
 When a book is printed in one country and published in another by a 
 publisher who does not have an office in the counlr\' where it is printed, give 
 both i)rinter and publisher. 
 
 7) add: When a book is issued only for the use of a public body, state the 
 fact in a note. 
 
 13) When a book is published for its author or for a society through 
 a business firm, state the fact in a note if not given in the title or im- 
 print. 
 
 DATE, i) When the date of issue of the earliest or latest part of a work 
 differs from that on the title-page of the complete work, add it in brackets. 
 
 158 165) Collation. L. C. supplementary rule i (p. 5i"54)-
 
 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY 5 
 
 PAGING 
 
 i) Give paging for all publications in one volume, whether serial or non- 
 serial, and for non-serial publications in more than one volume if the contents 
 are brought out, if illustrations require special mention, or if the work is of 
 particular value or bibliographical interest; if the contents are brought out 
 give the collation in the contents note. 
 
 2) If a work is in course of publication, let the collation begin with the 
 words "Library has," followed by the number of the earliest volume or part 
 in the Library, and, in the case of a serial, by the year or years covered by 
 it, stating the month of the earliest issue in the case of a monthly or weekly 
 publication. When such a work is complete to date from the first or any 
 other volume, say : "Library has . . . to date" or'' . . . and from . . . to date.'" 
 If the volume covers a definite period, use the dash (-) between inclusive 
 dates whenever the period is coterminous with the calendar year, the frac- 
 tional mark ( /) when it is not. For an incomplete work not catalogued as 
 continued, give in the collation an exact statement of the volumes in the 
 Library, unless the Library has the larger part thereof. In this case, as 
 well as when such a work is incomplete, the collation may contain a gen- 
 eral inclusive statement, the missing volume or volumes being given in a 
 note. Say "vol." not '"v.", for volume. 
 
 3) Cancel the word "printed". 
 4-6) Cancel. 
 
 7) The fact that a book has especially valuable matter on end papers, or 
 that its plates are accompanied by guard sheets or leaves with descriptive 
 letterpress is to be mentioned in a note. 
 
 If a book is printed on only one side of the leaves, state the fact in a 
 note. If columns, not pages, are numbered, state the number of columns 
 as given and add in brackets the actual number of pages. Do not abbre- 
 viate the words "columns" and "leaves." If advertising matter is paged 
 consecutively with the texl, give the total pagination in the collation and 
 the advertising pages in a note. 
 
 ILLUSTR.\TIONS 
 
 i) When some plates are colored and numbered by themselves, state 
 number in each group; if numbered with the others, say "part col." 
 
 4) Follow Library of Congress Supplementary rules: Collation, cards 
 4-8, ai — but: If a work in several volumes is of special value or bibliograph- 
 ical importance, give the number of plates, etc., in each volume. 
 
 Do not mention illustrations, nor specify plates, maps, etc., in the case 
 of a current serial publication, unless they are a real feature of it; full state- 
 ment may be made in the case of a discontinued serial of great value or 
 rarity. 
 
 5) When one or more plates have more than one illustration, diagram, 
 etc., and the number of single items are brought out, say, e. g.: "xvii diagr. 
 on 10 plates," but the fact that plates have illustrations, diagrams, etc. 
 on both sides need not alwavs be stated.
 
 THE JOHN CRERAR LIBRARY 6 
 
 When a single map is cut in several pieces, describe as " i map in 4 
 sections'": when a map of a given locality is issued in several sheets {i. e. 
 individual maps), to show various geographical or physical conditions, de- 
 scribe as "4 sheets." 
 
 In the collation for a geographical atlas, say "sheets" if the title is 
 "Map", otherwise say "maps".

 REFERENCES 
 
 166) Do not use elision marks in scries notes, or in the "At head of title" 
 note if standing for series note. 
 
 167) Contents. If the separate articles are nmnerous and of small 
 importance, contents need not be given. Give always contents for works 
 in several volumes if thc}^ have separate titles, whether on separate title- 
 pages or not. 
 
 168) Notes. In case of reports and similar publications, state in a 
 note "Report year ends — , " or "Report year irregular", as the case may

 bodies under the subject; for books printed before 1601 under the printer; 
 for books issued in a publisher's series under the series title, if the series, 
 taken as a whole, covers a distinct division of knowledge, or if its title 
 suggests an independent work rather than a series, e. g. Encyclopedic 
 scientifique. 
 
 170) Analytical entries. Do not make analytical entries for articles 
 clearly outside the scope of the Library, even though they be printed in 
 serials that are regularly analysed, either by this Library or by the Library 
 of Congress or the A. L. A. Pubhshing Board. Do not make analytical 
 entries for single dissertations shelved as parts of sets regularly sent to the 
 Library by the respective universities, if they are reprints from serials in 
 the Library. But make such entry for any article or dissertation, if requested 
 by the Reference Librarian. 
 
 171) References. When the name of a corporate body or the title 
 of an anonymous jjublication begins with a personal name consisting of 
 both fore- and surname, with the forename first, give added entry or reference 
 from the surname. Make references from the names of government institu- 
 tions, and from the names of go^'emment offices which from their names 
 might be taken for institutions.
