Notice that, aside
from book reviews, the CATALOGUE also does a fair amount of subject
indexing for periodicals in its collection, so it might be worth keeping
in mind for people looking for articles (as well as for book reviews)
from periods prior to about 1880. (And a SECOND CATALOGUE carries on
the article indexing, though it did not continue with book review
indexing.) I suspect the great majority of the journals indexed here
are also in 19TH CENTURY MASTERFILE and/or PERIODICALS INDEX ONLINE,
but both of those are subject-searchable only on a keyword in title
basis, whereas things here involve real, if limited, subject indexing.


I'll try to get the online versions of both of these cataloged as
free eResources.

PREFACE


This catalogue was begun in the autumn of 1869, and has been continued,
without other interruption than the ordinary demands of the library service, for
fourteen years.


When this catalogue was begun in 1869, Mr. Jewett's catalogue of the Boston
Public Library and Mr. Panizzi's rules for the catalogue of the British Museum were
the only valuable guides acces

sible to us. All problems not solved by these masters
had to be worked out for ourselves. Mr. Cutter's excellent rules, so minute and so
full, had not appeared ; and the first volume of his able catalogue of the Athenajum
Library was not published till 1874, five years after this work was begun. Difficulties
as they arose had to be met and settled ; and it has been interesting to note in the
catalogues since published, how many problems have been solved as we had previously
solved them. Similar difficulties had suggested similar solutions ; and many of Mr.
Cutter's rules had been practised in this library long before it was known that he was
preparing such rules.


This catalogue is constructed on the idea that the best possible catalogue is that
which best makes known to the average reader the entire contents of a library. It is
intended to answer the three important questions : Is a given book in the library ?
Are the works of a given author there? What books, articles, and information does
the library contain on a given subject? A perfect catalogue would furnish complete
answers to all these questions. The plan of this catalogue is that of a single alphabet,
in which every book whose author is known is entered three times­under its author's
name, under its title, and under its subject. Periodicals, bound pamphlets, the
publications of the great academies and learned societies (except their scientific
divisions), and historical, antiquarian, and otlier miscellaneous collections are all
indexed, and the references distributed under their appropriate heads ; the number of
pages in each article, the volume and the page where it may be found, with the author's
name when known, and, if a periodical, the year in which it was printed, being
carefullv marked.


Books belonging to broad classes of knowledge are distributed under the various
subordinate divisions of these classes, instead of being drawn together under general
heads. While the scientific reader might prefer to have before him a conspectus of
the whole class, the average reader will be likely to look for a book under the specific
head to which it belongs­for a book on birds under ornithology rather than under
natural history, or for a book on trees under forestry rather than under botany. Cross
references have been liberally supplied to guide the reader in doubtful cases. As the
association of ideas is so different in different minds, it is better to err here on the
side of profusion than of a scant supply.


Books, and all titles entered separately, are printed in the larger, brevier type,
each title so printed forming a separate paragraph. Articles in magazines and reviews,
in the publications of academies and learned societies, and those forming parts of books
in all miscellaneous collections, are printed solid in the smaller, nonpareil type, and
follow closely under every subject the book-titles relating to the same subject. These
two classes of publications­full volumes and short articles­are everywhere clearly
separated from each other, and yet in close conjunction, forming two alphabets on the
same subject, which can be consulted separately. This principle is carried out in all
the subdivisions of a subject : the books, in separate paragraphs and large type,
immediately preceding the shorter articles printed solid in smaller type, the articles
being separated from each other by a dash, and the names of authors, when known,
printed alphabetically in a clear bold-faced type that quickly catches the eye.

Under the names of authors the matter relating to them is arranged in three
divisions : 1. the works of the author ; 2. criticisms upon, and books about, his works ;
3. lives of the author and books about him personally. Each of these has a separate
alphabet, and the books in each division are followed by the shorter articles. Of
course the library does not, in the case of every author, contain books relating to all of
these divisions.


It was intended to give, under the name of every author, the dates of his birth and
death. This was regarded as an important feature in the catalogue ; and to insure its
completeness, a large number of biographical dictionaries and other aids were collected ;
but it has been found impossible to make it absolutely complete­especially in reference
to living or recent authors whose biographies are not easily found. When the
exact dates of an old author's life could not be obtained, the century in which he lived
has usually been marked. It is of authors only that these dates have been


In printing titles under the subordinate heads of a subject, as in Architecture,
before each subordinate heading, as bibliography, is repeated in bold-faced type the
principal title. Architecture, so that the eye by running down the column can catch at
a glance the extent of these divisions, and quickly find the one wanted. Thus we have
Architecture under which are general works, then repeated Architecture^
Bibliography; Architecture, Brich, stone, etc.; Architecture, Building;
Architecture, Cottages, rural, etc. ; Architecture, Decoration ; Architecture,
Dictionaries, etc., the books under each of these subheads occupying the space
between the heavy bold-faced repetitions of Architecture, and the repetition of the
principal term always indicating a change of subject. These subordinate divisions,
and every other division throughout the catalogue, are arranged in alphabetical order.
The contents of books are given, not by volumes, but by subjects in alphabetical
order, using for the alphabet, not the first word, but the important and distinctive word
in each heading, whatever be the part of the heading in which it is found, and printing
this Avord in broad heavy' type that stands out boldly from the page. The value of this
arrangement will depend greatly on the intelligence with which these distinctive words
are selected, and, on this point, there is room for much difference of opinion ; but, with
any tolerable selection, I think it will be found in practice that the prominent type will
greatly facilitate the search for a given subject, and, in most cases, will satisfy it without
requiring much to be read beyond these boldly printed words. It will be seen, on
close examination, that this method of forming an alphabet of the contents of books
was reached after tlhree unsatisfactory attempts, and was first fully employed under the
name of Arago.


Great importance has been attached to a proper selection of type and paper. A
clear, bold-faced type that the eye can easily follow, with such variations in it as should
readily mark the distinctions in the subject-matter, was sought, and, after numerous
trials, selected.


In printing, twelve different alphabets of type are in constant use by each
compositor, besides the occasional use of Greek letters and foreign accented letters ;
and the care required to use these correctly is such that only the most careful workmen
can be trusted with the work. The proof-reading by Mr. Stephen Anderson, of the
printing office, has been a source of great satisfaction to me. Considering the variety
of types used and the polyglot of languages he has to deal with, his sheets, when they
have come to me, have been a marvel of correctness.


The first three letters of the alphabet, constituting this First Part of the catalogue,
contain 61,184 references. It is thought that four additional volumes of about the
same size will be required to complete the work. The library indexed now contains
80,000 volumes ; but all new purchases that can be included under either of the
three forms of entry­authors, titles, or subjects­will be inserted, and the full entities
completed in a supplement, bringing the index down to the time when that supplement
shall be printed.


It may be well to say that this is a reference library for scholars, and consequently
contains few of what are called popular books, fewer novels except those of an old date
illustrative of literary history, and no juveniles.


The number of scientific periodicals, serials, and other collections in the library is
large ; but few of these have been indexed. They have all been entered in the catalogue
under author (or editor), title, and subject, but they have not been analyzed as
other works of the kind have been. It is thought that a full index of these would
require another catalogue as large as this.


A few changes have been introduced as the printing advanced, only three of
which are of any special importance. Beginning with Biography in the letter B the
year has been added to the volume in all periodical references, and, beginning with C,
the number of volumes, when more than one, and the date of publication, have been
added to all books under subjects, obviating the necessity of referring to the author
entry where the imprint is given. A third change­in the arrangement of the contents
of books­has already been referred to. Each of these changes has involved immense
labor, especially the first, which required every periodical reference to be taken to the
volume for the date, and the last, which involved the rewriting of all tables of contents
affected by it.

Little-Used Monographs in Ref Weeding Project

copying Mary S's note to the blog so the link will be handy at the Ref Desk etc. for anyone who wants to work on the project there.../ Denny
*****
AH and SSPP Selectors-
As you may know, Wilson Reference is working on a weeding project. Our first efforts include two groups of materials. First we are looking at dead serials and secondly at those monographs that appear to have been little used since 2000 based on the hash mark tags we place in volumes we reshelve.

The link below leads to a 114 page document on Netfiles that includes the monographs noted above. These titles are slated for transfer out of the reference collection. Please review and contact Mary Pat by Tuesday, 13 May with any titles you see that should remain in Wilson Reference.

https://netfiles.umn.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-5422378_1

Thanks in advance for your time - it helps us to maintain the kind of reference collection that benefits our users. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. Mary

Sage Electronic encyclopedias

Good News- The Sage eReference collection is now available! This provide
full text electronic access to some 47 encyclopedia titles. While the
Libraries have most in print, we now have electronic access to all. See the
complete list here: http://www.sage-ereference.com/FullBrowse.html


Thus far, the main Sage eReference collection link has been added to the
main Libraries page A-Z list. Individual titles all have MNCAT records,
with separate links. Also each Sage eReference title has been added into
LibData with just a basic entry for you to customize as needed.

Should these be linked anywhere else - probably the Encyclopedia page on
the Reference site. Other suggestions?

Training Tool : Minnesota-Specific Books in Wilson Reference

My theory here is that reference books devoted solely/specifically to Minnesota
subjects are (logically enough) in many locations. The "main" Minnesota (history,
mostly) call number is F601 through F615, and for that range I'm listing only
the most useful/used titles there. For the rest of the room, I'm trying to
list "everything," even if very old, very specialized, and/or very obscure.
