back when libraries used card catalogs they would be divided into Author, Title & Subject.

If you went to the card catalog and pulled the Author Card, Title card and the subject card. then you would have every reference for that book from the catalog

What are the different card catalogs?

There are different types of card catalogs, including author catalog, title catalog, subject catalog, and shelflist catalog. An author catalog arranges entries by the names of the authors; a title catalog organizes entries alphabetically by the titles of the materials; a subject catalog categorizes entries by subjects or topics; and a shelflist catalog lists materials in the order they appear on the library shelves. These card catalogs were commonly used in libraries before the transition to electronic catalogs.

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 This card served as the control card for the item; if the item were withdrawn from the library, this card would list all of the cards that would need to be removed from the catalog, so that the librarian could "trace" them through the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.


What is the meaning of subject card catalog?

In the old days before this digital age, information was stored on paper. Vast repositories called libraries stored information, on every topic and for every purpose, in the form of books. The books were kept on shelves in the "stacks," and the key to knowing where in the stacks to look for a particular book was called the Card Catalogue, actually two card catalogues: one for authors and one for subjects. In the subject card catalogue, library books are listed according to their subject.
