It is easier to help a child work up a subject if the books which he can use are divided into classes, not all alphabeted under authors. A separate card catalog for children often relieves a crowd at the other cases. A printed dictionary catalog without notes does not help a child.
Under much usage of the volumes, however, they must occasionally be renewed. When the books being prepared for the shelves have all been duly collated, labelled and stamped, processes which should precede cataloguing them, they are next ready for the cataloguer. When this is done, the title-cards can be withdrawn and alphabeted in the catalogue drawers.
This is an important concession to his judgment, made in the interest of completeness in the library, saving a delay of days and sometimes weeks in waiting for the board of directors. All orders sent out for accessions should previously be compared with the alphabeted order-card list, as well as with the general catalogue of the library, to avoid duplication.
