QUESTIONS. _1._ Prepare a specification for the printing of a catalogue of _20,000_ volumes. _2._ State what kinds of type you would bring into use in a classified catalogue of 10,000 volumes, and how you would mark the copy for the printer’s guidance. _3._ Give as many proof correction marks, with explanations, as you can. _Lesson 10._ INDEXING. ARRANGEMENT. ALPHABETISING. Efficient indexing is an absolute necessity if the information contained in the Library or in the catalogue, if in classified form, is to be made fully and readily available. Lack of experience in this direction accounts in many cases for the impression that indexing requires no great amount of discretion or ability, and students are warned that this erroneous estimate is invariably a preliminary to unsatisfactory work. Compare the manner in which relative and specific indexes respectively achieve their object. A decision will be required upon several points in compiling an index to a catalogue, _e.g._, use of page or location number for reference, form of entry, etc. Some entries are short almost to the point of being cryptic, others apparently contain matter superfluous in an index. Even in the matter of arranging the entries custom varies. Study the rules laid down by Cutter. Make a special point of consistency in alphabetising. READING LIST.
