| Summary | "On the Construction of Catalogues of Libraries and Their Publication by Means of Separate, Stereotyped Titles" by Charles C. Jewett is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a guide for librarians, detailing a proposed system for cataloging libraries using separate stereotyping methods, aimed at improving efficiency and accuracy in library cataloguing. It discusses various challenges faced by growing libraries and offers a systematic plan, including rules and examples for constructing effective catalogues. The opening of the text introduces the purpose of the work, emphasizing the need for a better cataloguing system that can keep pace with the rapid growth of libraries in America. Jewett outlines the difficulties currently encountered in cataloguing, such as the production of supplements due to new acquisitions, and presents his innovative approach of stereotyping titles separately. This would allow libraries to repeatedly reuse titles for new editions, significantly reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Additionally, the preface lays out his intention to provide a manual for librarians, facilitating ease in the creation and management of catalogues. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
