213. Arrange entries according to the English alphabet, whatever the
order of the alphabet in which a foreign name might have to be entered
in its original language.
Treat «I» and «J», «U» and «V», as separate letters; «ij», at least in
the older Dutch names, should be arranged as «y»; do not put Spanish
names beginning with «Ch», «Ll», «Ñ», after all other names beginning
with «C», «L», and «N», as is done by the Spanish Academy, nor «ä»,
«å», «æ», «ö», «ø», at the end of the alphabet, as is done by the
Swedes and Danes, nor the German «ä», «ö», «ü», as if written «ae»,
«oe», «ue» (except «Goethe»). If two names are spelled exactly alike
except for the umlaut (as Müller and Muller) arrange by the forenames.
[note] 65. On this subject consult Appendix IV, pp. 116–118; also p.
36–69 of Dr. C: Dziatzko’s “Instruction für die Ordnung der Titel im
alphabetischen Zettelkatalog der Univ.-Bibliothek zu Breslau, Berlin,
1886,” 74 pp. O (the first 35 pp. are a treatise on Entry).[/note]
(a.) HEADINGS.
214. When the same word serves for several kinds of heading let the
order be the following: person, place, followed by subject (except
person or place), form, and title.
Arrangement must be arbitrary. This order is easy to remember, because
it follows the course of cataloguing; we put down first the author,
then the title. The subject and form, expressed sometimes in more than
one word, and the title, almost always having more than one word,
must be arranged among themselves by the usual rules. Of course, the
person considered as a subject can not be separated from the person as
author. As the place may be either author or subject or both, it may
come between the two.
_Ex._ «Washington», George. (person)
«Washington», _D. C._ (place)
«Homes», H. A. (person)
«Homes family.» (persons)
«Homes.» (subject)
«Homes» and shrines. (title)
