Excerpt from L. C. Printed Cards, How to Order and Use Them This pamphlet is designed to meet a demand for a popular statement of methods of ordering and using the L. C. printed cards. It is intended to furnish (1) the information which a library should have before beginning to order cards for use in cataloging, (2) the information needed by the specialist who desires to order cards as material for a card bibliography, (3) the information needed by students of library economy who wish to understand the essential features of the work. It is designed to supersede the Handbook of Card Distribution so far as the needs of the last two classes are concerned; but it is not designed to supersede the Handbook entirely as a guide to the ordering and use of the printed cards for cataloging books. Those responsible for ordering and using the L. C. cards for a library catalog will get better results by reading the Handbook carefully and referring frequently to the full statements there given. Most of the sample cards and order slips shown are reproduced from those in the Handbook. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
