Synopsis

Excerpt from The Sheaf Catalogue: A Practical Handbook on the Compilation of Manuscript Catalogues for Public and Private Libraries

For private libraries a manuscript catalogue is infinitely the more useful and practicable form.

This handbook is intended to form a practical guide to the compilation of a sheaf catalogue. The methods described are all the results of experiment and experience. With regard to the actual catalogue entries, the principle adopted has been to frame the rules and suggestions in such a way that they can be applied to the existing cataloguing practice of any library. At the same time, sufficient indication of forms of entries is given to enable anyone to compile a catalogue without having recourse to any other code of rules.
