The three (main) types of cards in a card catalogue are:
  1. Author catalogue- 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. For example: if you were looking for one of theHarry Potterbooks, you would look under the letter "R" forRowling, J.K.
  2. Title catalogue-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. For example: if you were looking for the second book in theHarry Potterseries, you would look under the letter "H" forHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
  3. Subject catalogue-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. For example: if you were looking for a book onWizardsthat wasJuvenile Fiction, you would first look under "W" forWizards, then look for the card(s) that included the subheadingJuvenile Fiction(i.e. "Wizards -- Juvenile Fiction", which would beafterthe cards that are under only "Wizards"). Here you would find all the books with the headingWizards -- Juvenile Fiction, which would include all the books in the Harry Potter series, as well as other titles.

What is the meaning of the three kinds of card catalog in libraries?

There are 4 types of card catalogs and they are: title cards, author cards, subject cards, and the cross-reference cards.Author card catalog: a type of card catalog organized by the last name of the author. If more than one author collaborated on the book, the author listed first is the one that appears on the card catalog. Other authors names may be included depending on the space available.Title card catalog: provides an easy way for a person to find a specific book or multimedia holding by its title. The title card catalog contains all of the same information that the author catalog contains, but the information is rearranged on each card entry. Instead of the author listed at the top of the card, the title of the book is listed, then the author's name, publishing information and subjects.Subject card catalog: organizes all of the library holdings by the main subjects of the title. Because titles often fall under more than one subject category, the library may choose to have multiple entries for the same book. Other libraries choose to only list a single main subject in capital letters on the top of the card for each book in the subject card catalog.Shelflist card catalog: a type of card catalog that libraries often use for organization but do not make available to the public. The shelflist combines all title, author and subject cards to provide a complete inventory of what the library has on its shelves. The shelflist is a catalog organized by the location of the books and other materials in the library.
