PRINTING.
=117.=--The slips being sorted into alphabetical order if a dictionary
catalogue, or into classes and divisions if a classified catalogue,
are to be laid down on sheets of paper to send to the printer. These
sheets of paper should be thin, tough, and uniform in size, but the
colour and quality is of little importance and brown or cheap printing
paper will do. The slips are first prepared by cutting away any part
of the entry not to be printed, as the author’s name from the second
and subsequent entries under his name, and in the same way cutting off
the subject-heading from those slips where there are more entries than
one under the subject. This is better than laying all down, and then
afterwards marking out what is not to be printed. The sheets of paper
should be first pasted all over, the slips laid upon them in order,
usually in two columns, and then all pressed over. A little marginal
space should be left for the insertion of additional entries.
If the entries are written upon cards, and it is wished to avoid the
work of laying them down on sheets of paper, the names and headings not
to be printed should be scored through, and the cards strung together in
batches of a hundred or so by means of the hole usually perforated in
them, numbering them through from beginning to end for order and safety.
If the “copy” consists of the printed pages of a former catalogue with
new additions to be inserted, the page should first be laid down on the
sheet and the new entries below, these being numbered consecutively on
each sheet separately with a corresponding number marked upon the page at
the exact place where the new entry goes. Should there be a comparatively
large number of such insertions, it is a much safer plan and fairer to
the printer to cut up the printed page and place the additional entries
in their correct order before laying them down on the sheet of paper.
=118.=--The sheets as they are got ready must be consecutively numbered
throughout with a bold figure on the right hand top corner, and before
sending them to the printer they should be finally looked through for
revision. This is the most convenient time for marking the “copy,” for
variations in type. The marking is usually as follows:
For CAPITALS underline three times in black ink.
For SMALL CAPITALS underline twice in black ink.
For _Italics_ underline once in black ink.
For =Clarendon= or other heavy type underline as above in red.
For smaller type than the body of the catalogue mark the portions
down the margin in red and black, or red and blue.
Before the catalogue can be sent to be printed, its form must be
decided upon as to the size of pages, quality and colour of paper, the
types to be used, and the style of binding, and these being settled, a
specification must be prepared to guide the printer in his work, or to
obtain tenders upon if the work of printing is open to competition, as
is most usual with all work done for public bodies. Personal preferences
govern many matters in connection with the “get up” of a catalogue,
though in most instances there is a limit imposed by the necessity for
economy in cost of printing, just as there so often is for economy of
compilation. The styles ordinarily adopted in the catalogues of the
lending departments of the rate-supported libraries may be referred to.
=119.=--The most economical and commonest form is royal octavo in
size, printed with two columns on the page in brevier type, with the
subject-headings in a heavier type, and notes and list of contents in
nonpareil. Sometimes the authors’ names in the principal entry are
printed in capitals and small capitals, and this serves very well for
distinctive purposes. Occasionally a catalogue is seen in which the
subject-headings are in capitals and the authors’ names printed in
heavier type, with the result that the authors are too prominent and the
subjects not prominent enough. If the authors’ names in all entries are
printed in blacker type and the shelf or other finding numbers as well,
the appearance is greatly marred, the page having a spotted look most
unrestful to the eye, and the purpose for which the heavy type is adopted
is defeated. Altogether it will be found that the heavier type to be
effective must be used sparingly, and as subject-headings are much less
numerous than authors’ names, the most dignified and satisfactory page is
obtained by the use of heavier type for the headings rather than for the
authors’ names. While this refers mainly to the dictionary catalogue, it
is also the best style to adopt for the classified catalogue. All type
used should be as plain as possible, either old or modern-faced, without
fancy letters, and the heavier type should be similar in style and size
to that used in the body of the catalogue. When two sizes of type are
used for distinctive purposes, it is customary to pass over a size in
order that the distinction may be clearer, thus if the body type were
long primer, the contents and notes should be set in brevier and not
bourgeois, and nonpareil should be used with brevier, and not minion. The
following specimens of types will be found useful, especially as it shows
the line space occupied by each size:

=120.=--Another style of catalogue often seen is demy octavo in size,
printed across the page in long primer with “Clarendon” or “De Vinne”
subject-headings and brevier notes and contents. This is a very effective
form for a class-list or for the first catalogue of a new library, as it
has the advantage of giving an imposing appearance to the catalogue, no
matter how poor the collection of books is. Of course it is much easier
to read and altogether gives a better page, but it adds considerably
to the bulk and cost of the catalogue, besides giving the printer more
“fat,” as the white or unprinted portions of the page are called. This
style is preferable for the reference library, where the size of the
catalogue is unimportant, as it has not to be carried about.
There are variations from these sizes and types ranging from a super
royal octavo and crown quarto down to duodecimo, with type from small
pica to nonpareil. The number of copies in the edition depends upon the
number or probable number of purchasers of the catalogue during a given
term of years, local circumstances alone deciding in this matter.
=121.=--Before sending out a specification for printing estimates, it
is a safer, more satisfactory, and fairer plan to all concerned to
have a specimen page set up, containing in it all the types to be used
in something near their proportionate quantities. The cost of such a
page is trifling, but the librarian then knows precisely what he is
asking for and what to expect, and the printer better understands what
he is tending for. All other points it is thought are included in the
following illustrative specification, which is not taken from that of any
particular library, but embodies concisely what are considered to be the
best features of several specifications.
CORPORATION OF LAMBWELL.
_Specification for Printing the Public Library Catalogue._
The Committee of the Free Public Library invite tenders for
printing a catalogue of their Lending Library upon the following
conditions:
_Edition and Size._--The edition to consist of three thousand
copies, royal octavo in size (say 9¼ × 6 when bound).
_Paper._--To be at least 30lbs. to the ream, of good finish,
white, uniform in tint throughout.
_Type and Setting._--Old-style brevier, with occasional small
capitals, italics, and clarendon or antique, with nonpareil for
notes and contents, and the proper accented letters in foreign
languages. To be set solid, two columns to the page, seventy
lines to the column, each fifteen ems wide, with double division
rules between. Turnover lines to be indented two ems, the repeat
dash to be a one em rule, the class-letter and number to stand
clear four ems, the nonpareil indent to be two ems. Spaces
between the end of the book-entry and the class-letter to be
filled with leaders. The type must not be worn or broken, and
must be free from wrong founts.
_Machining._--The sheets to be well worked in perfect register,
with good ink, and afterwards rolled or pressed.
_Time._--From the first receipt of copy, the work to be proceeded
with at not less than two sheets of sixteen pages each per week
until completed, or in default thereof the printer to pay a sum
of two pounds per week as damages.
_Proofs._--Two copies of proof in galley and two copies of a
revise in page to be furnished for reading and correction. The
Librarian to have the right to demand a revise in galley and
such revises in page as he shall deem necessary. No sheet to be
sent to press until ordered by the endorsement of the Librarian
thereon.
_Additions and corrections._--The Librarian to have the right to
insert additional matter in galley but not in page. No charge to
be allowed for author’s corrections unless pointed out and priced
at the time they are made.
_Number of pages._[4]--The number of pages is estimated to be 250
more or less, but the number is not guaranteed.
_Covers._--Three thousand covers to be printed upon coloured
paper, of an approved tint, not less than 34lbs. to the ream
(royal). The front of this cover to be printed with the title of
the catalogue.
_Binding._--The whole edition to be bound in good straw boards of
suitable thickness, strongly sewn with thread, with cloth strip
backs, the covers pasted on the sides and cut flush. Fourteen
days will be allowed for binding beyond the time when the last
sheet is sent to press.
_Delivery._--The catalogues when completed, to be tied in brown
paper parcels of fifty each, and delivered to the Public Library,
High Street, Lambwell.
_Tender._--The tender is to be at per page for brevier type and
for nonpareil type respectively, the price to include all charges
for press corrections, covers, binding, and delivery.
_Other conditions._--The work is to be carried out to the entire
satisfaction of the Librarian, and if he is dissatisfied with
its execution he shall have power to stop the work and refer the
matter to the Library Committee, whose decision shall be final
and binding.
The Committee will require the firm whose tender is accepted to
enter into a contract to execute the work in accordance with this
specification and its conditions.
When completed, the work to be measured up and charges allowed
according to the quantity of brevier and nonpareil used, and
payment made within three months afterwards.
The Committee do not bind themselves to accept the lowest or any
tender.
Tenders, with samples of the paper to be used, to be sent in
sealed envelopes endorsed “Catalogue,” to the undersigned on or
before the 20th day of November, 1898.
JOHN E. BURKETT, _Librarian_.
=122.=--The printer and price having been fixed a supply of “copy” is
sent and in due time proofs in “galley,” _i.e._ in long columns before
the matter is “broken up” into pages, are received. The first proofs
will not comprise the title-page, preface, and other preliminary pages,
which are invariably printed last though first in order when the work is
completed, and therefore the copy for this part of the catalogue need
not be sent to the printer until the work is nearing its completion.
The manuscript or other “copy” will be returned with the proofs and
should be carefully and clearly read aloud by some qualified person to
the cataloguer, who will correct the proofs by marking the corrections
on the margin. When the proofs in hand have been so read over, it is
advisable for the cataloguer to again read them carefully through apart
from the copy before returning to the printer, as it is a much simpler
matter to correct in galley than in page. At this point any additions
to be inserted must be given, as they cannot be added to proofs in
page without very great trouble, entailing the upsetting of work done,
and consequently delay. The proofs after being fully corrected, will
be returned by the printer with a clean proof (or “revise” as a proof
after correction is termed) in page when all the corrections marked on
the galley must be compared with the entries or the revise, to see that
they have been properly attended to. At this time the headings, catch
words, and numbering of the pages must be checked, and when the entries
under a subject-heading have been divided by the end of a page or column
the repeated headings upon the next column or page must be carefully
examined. When books under an author’s name are so divided, his name
should be repeated in the same way at the top of the next column or page.
These being attended to, the whole sheet should again be read through
before finally sending it to press, and even with the care already
expended, it is remarkable how many mistakes will then be discovered for
the first time. If the corrections in page are somewhat numerous, or if
any doubt exists as to their receiving proper attention, or a particular
correction is one of some moment, it is as well to have another “pull” of
the sheet when corrected, and make quite certain before marking it to “go
to press.”
=123.=--In correcting proofs there are other mistakes to look for besides
the misspelling, misplacing, or omission of words. It is of the utmost
importance that the numbers or other marks whereby the books are asked
for or found should be as correct as possible, as mistakes of this kind
lead to vexation both on the part of the readers and officials. Attention
is also required to the proper dividing of words in turning over lines,
the use of letters of the right fount of type as others get sorted in,
and if not changed mar the look of the page when printed, the removal of
broken letters, the correct guage for indents and parts “standing clear,”
the removal of quadrats or space pieces, so that they do not stand up in
evidence on the printed page, and other items of this nature. The column
of catalogue matter given in Appendix D has most of the errors usually
made upon it with the signs used in correcting it, and is accompanied by
explanations of them. The corrections are to be marked in the margins as
shown in the specimen, and not upon the printed matter, else they will be
overlooked. The same page as corrected is given.
If after due attention to all these details the cataloguer is enabled
to produce a work free from blemish of compilation or printing he may
heartily congratulate himself, though the public who use the library
having such a catalogue will even then not fully appreciate the care and
anxiety expended on it, and will soon after prove this by asking when “a
new one will be out.”

[4] Even a careful estimate made from the “copy” is liable to turn
out wrong when the work is in type and the tendency is to overstate
the number of pages, when the printer is within his rights, according
to trade usages, in claiming for profit upon the full number of pages
upon which his estimate was based, therefore it is better to have a
saving clause as well as to leave a safe margin on the lesser side when
calculating the number of pages.

Card Indexing for Libraries.
[Illustration]
_The Life of a Card Catalogue never ends. Additions can be made at any
time, and in any place._
In all libraries, whether private or public, the Card Catalogue is an
essential. In a large public library, where the stock of books is being
constantly added to, it is necessary, in order to save a weary search
through pages of MSS. and numerous printed supplements to have a complete
index on cards carefully kept up-to-date, where the public or the staff
can readily ascertain by one reference whether any particular book is in
the library. In the reference library the necessity of the Card Catalogue
cannot be questioned. To print a catalogue of the reference library is
an expensive proceeding, as the sales seldom reach one-tenth part of the
cost; and frequently the printed catalogue suffers in usefulness by the
need of keeping it within certain limits.
We recommend the “Libraco” Tray Cabinets for use in Libraries, as they
divide up a catalogue into many parts, and allow several persons to
consult the Catalogue at one time.
_Send for full descriptive list of the Applications of the Card
System--Sectional Catalogue, No. 10._
* * * * *
“LIBRACO” TRAY CABINETS.
The enormous advantages of the Card Indexing System for Libraries are
beyond question. The only disadvantage alleged against the system is that
only a limited number of people can consult the card catalogue at one
time. The Cabinet illustrated on this page holds 18,000 cards, and is
suitable for a library of 6,000 volumes. The Cabinet therefore divides
the catalogue into 15 parts and allows 15 persons to use it. The trays
are removable and may be carried to a counter for consultation. In a
reference library it is seldom that at any given time during the day
more than three or four people are desirous of consulting the catalogue,
therefore the one and only disadvantage alleged against the Card System
is imaginary. A properly guided Card Catalogue is easier to handle than
the MSS. book. Stout cards and perfect arrangement render consultation a
pleasure.

“LIBRACO” SLIDE CABINETS.
The “Libraco” Slide Cabinets are thoroughly constructed of oak, mahogany
or walnut throughout. They are provided with extension slides, which
prevent the drawer coming out entirely, but allow it to pull out to the
full extent. A full view of the contents is thus obtained. Every detail
has been carefully considered and worked out, so that a loaded drawer
runs noiselessly and with ease. Built in various sizes.

The “Libraco” Slide Cabinets have been supplied to Science and Art Dept.

Oxford Union Society (21 Drawer Cabinet for 84,000 cards), Hull Public
Library, Bishopsgate Institute (2 eight-drawer Cabinets for 58,000

PRICE LIST OF “LIBRACO” INDEX CARDS.
[Illustration]
THE BEST ENGLISH LINEN CARDS.
The material from which these cards are cut is manufactured by an English
Mill to the order of the Library Supply Co. It is prepared expressly to
meet the requirements of the Card System, and is not carried in stock by
any Paper Merchant. The “Libraco” Index Cards are exact in height and
the edges will be found true and square. The machinery for cutting these
cards has been specially adapted for the purpose.
The “Libraco” Index Cards are made in three weights, thin, medium, and
thick. The thin cards are mostly used because they occupy less space,
and therefore reduced the cost of storage. But in all important indexes,
medium and thick cards are adopted.

“LIBRACO” SECOND GRADE CARDS.
Are principally intended for temporary lists. They are cut as accurately
and as truly as the best English linen cards, but are inferior in
durability. They are made in two thicknesses--thin and thick. Stocked in
ten colours:--white, salmon, green, grey, primrose, rose, fawn, lemon,
silurian and celestial.

GUIDE CARDS.
Made from strong and tough material. Cut so as to form a projection above
the ordinary card, one-fifth, third, or half the length of the card,
according to the amount of writing desired on projecting tab. They are of
great importance in a card catalogue, and should be used freely, as they
enable the user to turn instantly to any desired topic, name, or title in
the index, thereby reducing the wear and tear of the cards.

ADJUSTABLE SHEAF CATALOGUES.
For certain index purposes these sheaf binders are admirably suited, and
appeal to those in favour of the book form of cataloguing. The sheaf
catalogues are in the form of screw binders, which hold loose slotted
slips. The slips can be arranged alphabetically and maintained in
strict order. The screws are turned by means of a key, and thus release
contents, when insertions or withdrawals can be made. When screwed up the
slips are clamped firmly, and it is impossible to remove or tear out an
entry without leaving a counterfoil.
[Illustration: ADJUSTABLE CATALOGUE HOLDER.
_Size of Slips, 6¾ × 3¾. Half Pigskin, finished in gilt._]
=Price 8s. net. Xylonite Label Holders, 3d. each extra.=
_Cabinets to hold these binders are made in Oak. Prices on application._
* * * * *
ADJUSTABLE PERIODICALS LIST.
Titles of papers, magazines, directories, &c., printed on separate slips
of card, and inserted in proper place in frame. Of great convenience to
the librarian and to the public. When ordering send list of papers.

=Frames of any size are Made.=
=Prices complete, from 15s.= _Oak or Walnut frames as desired._
The same titles can be used for Periodical indicators. Frames containing

THE YALE BOOK SUPPORT.
A new invention for supporting books on the shelves. Can be attached to
top or underside of shelf. Made of steel, nicely japanned. The support
slides along shelf, but is secured or released by a turn of the set
screw. Absolutely rigid. The most effective book-support in the market.

THE “LIBRACO” PERFORATING STAMP.
Cuts the name into the paper by means of a series of needles, and thus
establishes the ownership of books beyond question. The impression
does not mar the appearance of the printed page, or interfere with the
legibility of the reading matter. It is effective and cannot be removed.
The “Libraco” Perforating Stamp is absolutely essential on art plates and
valuable books.

LIBRARY AND MUSEUM NUMBERS.
_Gold Blocked Numbers and Letters on Leatherette._
These numbers and letters are easily and permanently affixed to the
backs of books by means of fish glue, and whilst they cost less than
one-sixth of the sum charged by a bookbinder, they are, in the opinion
of many librarians, better and more effective than numbering direct on
to the books, as the contrast between the colour of the leatherette and
the colour of the binding emphasises the number. Besides cheapness, they
are time savers, as new books can be numbered as purchased. Their neat
and uniform appearance are pleasing recommendations, and sufficient to
warrant the discarding of the unsightly draper’s labels commonly used.

SHELF LABEL HOLDERS.
[Illustration: SHELF LABEL HOLDER
Simplest, Cheapest and Best.]
Shelf Label Holders are useful in every library, especially in libraries
where books are classified on the shelves. Our Label Holders are made of
japanned metal, having a long flange which rests on the shelf. The edges
of the holder are so turned that they hold a stout card bearing the name
of subject or author. This card may be removed or renewed at pleasure.
Where desired, transparent slips, to cover the cards and protect them
from dust, are supplied at an extra charge. Card Labels are supplied free
with our holders. Hundreds of these holders are now in use, and have
practically demonstrated their usefulness and many advantages. They take
the place of the unsightly labels of many colours and shapes hitherto
pinned to the shelves, which were so detrimental to the woodwork.
