Three things you would find in a card catalog?

Answer 1

You would find three types of cards:

1. Author card- each card is arranged alphabetically according the last name(s) of the author(s) of the item. This is the catalogue you use when you know the author of the item you are looking for.
2. Title card-each card is arranged alphabetically according the title of the item. This is the catalogue that you use when you know the title of the item you are looking for.
3. Subject card-each card is arranged alphabetically according the subject heading(s) of the item. This is the catalogue you use when you aren't sure of the title or author, and/or if you want to find an item on a specific subject.
