Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to a real-world cataloging system, the Schlagwortkatalog, developed by the Zurich City Library. The Schlagwortkatalog, translated to "subject catalog," is a type of real catalog that prioritizes practical use over theoretical principles, seeking to make it easier for library patrons to locate materials on specific topics. The author argues that existing systematic catalogs overcomplicate the process and fail to account for the varied nature of library holdings. This book presents a thorough examination of the Schlagwortkatalog, detailing its structure, methodology, and the theoretical underpinnings that distinguish it from other real catalogs. This book will be of interest to library science professionals and students, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of library cataloging systems. The insights on cataloging principles presented in this book have had a profound impact on the field and continue to influence the design and implementation of library catalogs today.

In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
