  • Cataloging Made Easy: How To Organize Your Congregation's Library. Second Revised Edition. CSLA Guide No. 5. Smith, Ruth S. Card Catalogs Cataloging Church Programs Church Workers Classification Filing Glossaries Library Automation Library Materials Publicity Religious Libraries Supplies Volunteers Creating a catalog for the synagogue or church library is a vital ministry, one that leads workers and parishioners to available resources for information and inspiration. Pointing out that cataloging is not too difficult or complicated for untrained professionals and volunteer librarians, this guide sets forth basic procedures for: (1) aiming toward a library ministry; (2) sorting the collection; (3) arranging the material for use; (4) establishing guidelines for cataloging; (5) obtaining supplies; (6) recording bibliographic information; (7) step-by-step processing, from marking the book for ownership to assigning a call number, to shelving the book, to filing the catalog cards; (8) using shortcuts, including catalog card services and automation; and (9) ways to encourage use of the catalog. Appendices include a glossary of cataloging terms; a list of the Dewey Decimal Classification's 200 Class; sample cards; and a list of resources. This present edition incorporates minor changes from the previous edition with updated references. (AEF)
