A shelf list card is an old style catalog card from the master shelf list file of a particular library. Shelf list cards often held more information regarding issue of magazines and journals, number of copies, sources of gifts, etc. than the public really needed to know. The shelf list cards were kept in call number order, and not open for public use. The public catalog card versions were filed by author or other main entry, title, and subject.

What does trace mean in a library?

Tracings" is terminology from the card catalog. Before the time of printed cards (in which each card contains all of the bibliographical information) there was a primary card that had along the bottom a list of all of the headings that would be entered into the catalog for that bibliographic item. These included added authors, series entries, and subject entries. This card served as the control card for the item; if the item were withdrawn from the library, this card would list all of the cards that would need to be removed from the catalog, so that the librarian could "trace" them through the catalog. In electronic catalogs, the term can be used to refer to the set of added entries in the bibliographic record.

Dictionary catalog, which sorts all entries (author, title, subject, and series) alphabetically. Keyword catalog, which sorts alphabetically according to a system of keywords.
