Catalog cards. These are of two sizes and many thicknesses. Select what suits you. See Library Bureau catalog. Catalog case. See Library Bureau catalog. For a very small library a few japanned tin trays will serve. But your catalog will grow faster than you suppose. Cole size card; a sheet marked in such a way as to give one at a glance the proper letter to use in indicating the size of any book placed on it. See Library Bureau catalog. In a very small library not needed. Classification scheme. See chapters on classification. Cutter author table for book numbers. See chapter on book numbers. For a very small library one can use numbers only. Daters and ink pads for dating borrowers' cards, etc. The pencil daters are best. See chapter on charging systems. Ink. For all outside labels use Higgins' American drawing ink, waterproof. For book cards, borrowers' cards, etc., use any good black, non-copying ink. Carter's fluid is very good. |
