What information is included in a card catalog?

On a typical card catalog entry, it will include the title of that book, the author of the book, the year of publication, number of pages, the reference number in the Library of Congress, and the library call number for that particular library.

How does a library catalog work?

These catalogs can be configured in a number of ways, and their organization makes it easy to add or remove books, and to find particular ones. Every time a new book enters a library, a card is created for it, with information like the title, author's name, subject, and location of the book.

A dictionary catalog lists every single book in a library in alphabetical order, so in order to find a book, a patron must know what the title is.

Do public libraries still use card catalogs?
