Rules for a Dictionary Catalogue, Part II, Third Edition

Note 31 — ENTRY.

Reading edition

For a smaller catalogue this may read “except anonymous works relating to a person, city, or other subject distinctly mentioned in the title, which are to be put under the name of the person, city, or subject.” In the catalogue of a larger library where more exactness (“red tape,” “pedantry”) is indispensable, biography should be the only exception, the place of entry under subjects and under large cities being {40} too doubtful. And in planning a manuscript catalogue, it should be remembered that a small library may grow into a large one, and that if the catalogue is made in the best way at first there will be no need of alteration.
