Cataloging Marketplace

Abstract

Once upon a time (the mid‐1960s) a Cataloging Department had only two major places to obtain catalog cards: the Library of Congress (proofsheets or sets of unit cards) and the H.W. Wilson Company (full sets of cards using the Dewey classification). Thus everyone was filing proofsheets, copying them into card sets, ordering cards from L.C., taking Polaroid pictures of the National Union Catalog, or checking lists of available Wilson cards.
