What is a CATALOGUE ?A Catalogue is a complete list of items in any Collection arranged in a specific manner. for eg. A collection of designer dresses in a shop / boutique - Even a menu card in a restaurant
How will you find books in the library easily?Simple – Just use our LIBRARY CATALOGUE
A Library Catalogue therefore is a list of Books and all other Library materials like Story Books, Picture Books, Charts, and even AV items like Cds, DVDs etc.
A typical library catalogue is one arranged in an alphabetical Order by AUTHOR, TITLE and by CALL NO.
– The catalog forms the basis for access to the library’s collection
– A library catalog (or library catalogue) is a register of all bibliographic items found in a library or group of libraries

Why do we need catalogs?
• For retrieval– Most collections are too large for someone to remember
every item in the collection• For inventory and Access
– Catalogs serve as a record of what is owned and as a reminder of what has been acquired, lost, replaced, etc.
– A Library Catalogue helps you access (find) Books and all other types of documents in a Library in the least amount of time
– A Catalogue also helps you find Books easily without having to go through all the shelves.
– A Catalogue helps you access BOOKS through any characteristic i.e. Author, Title, Publisher, Subject / Keyword etc.
How will you locate books and find information in your Library?Through Call Numbers by which all books are arranged on the shelves.
WHAT IS A CALL NUMBER?It is a 3 digit Class number given to books according their subjects, using the DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification System) along with the Author mark. (Eg. 001.9 a book on Controversial knowledge)
What is an Author mark ?It indicates the first three letters of the surname of the book’s Author(Eg. Dup for John Dupont)
How does the Call no. look on the cover of the book? Like this !
A Library Catalogue can be MANUAL or COMPUTERISED
Manual – made in Card format
Computerized – in an ONLINE Database
