Summary "Library Cataloguing" by John Henry Quinn is a practical guide to the processes and principles of cataloguing libraries, written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the complexities and misunderstandings that surround cataloguing, emphasizing the skills necessary for effective cataloguing, such as organization, research, and a thorough understanding of literature. It serves as an introduction to various cataloguing codes while providing examples to assist librarians and library assistants in their work. The opening of the book outlines the misconceptions held by the public regarding the simplicity of cataloguing. Quinn stresses that cataloguing is a skilled task that demands careful judgment, methodical organization, and a deep knowledge of literature across many subjects. He references historical perspectives on cataloguing, pointing out how its evolution reflects the growing expectations within libraries, and emphasizes that creating an effective catalogue is essential for the utility of any library collection. The text sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of cataloguing rules and practices, which will be detailed in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
