==Elements of Cataloging and Classification==
+
 
+
To "catalog" a book or other form of library material involves several interrelated processes which all contribute to the achievement of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Ammi_Cutter Charles Ammi Cutter's] "objects" for a catalog:
+
 
+
* To enable a person fo find a book of which the author, title, or subject is known
+
* To show what the library has by a given author, on a given subject, or in a given kind of literature, and
+
* To assist in the choice of a book. <br>
+
(Adapted ''Rules for a Printed Dictionary Catalogue,'' by Charles Ammi Cutter, 4th ed., 1904, p. 12.)
+
 
+
Thus, catalogers prepare a description of an item, assign subject headings, determine a shelf location using a classification system, provide a link to the electronic item if appropriate and code that information with both MARC tags or metadata so that it may be displayed in local OPACs and, in North America, in WorldCat.  These elements of the process are further elaborated on the following pages.

+
 
+
[[MARC Tagging]]
+
 
+
[[Metadata]]
+
 
+
[[Shelflisting]]
+
 
+
[[Subject Analysis]]
+
 
+
Finally, the entries need to be arranged by a consistent set of [[Filing rules]] whether manually in a card file or following a program in a computer.
