Pub. 40 12-12 Explanation This list is Part 8 of the third series of the Classified Catalogue of books in the Library. It includes titles added from January 1, 1907 up to, but not including, January 1912 and supplements the first and second series of the Classified Catalogue, which include titles of books acquired from the foundation of the Library in 1895 to January 1, 1907. Following the general plan pursued in the distribution of the first and second series of the catalogue, sections will be issued in pamphlet form as they are printed. When all parts are completed, an index of authors and subjects will be added, so that the sections may be bound into volumes. The following list includes all books in the class Biography, arranged according to divisions of the Decimal classification, except that the Individual biography has been arranged alphabetically by subject, and 92 used as its class number. Later editions of books which have already appeared in the first and second series of the catalogue are included in this part, as well as circulating copies of those books which have previously been in the reference collection only. Bibliographies which appeared in Part 1 under “General works” are repeated in this part under the special subjects which they cover. Parts of books treating of these classes are not included. Such entries will be found in the card catalogue at the Central Library, which should be consulted by any one desiring to see the entire resources of the Library on any given subject. The form of entry is that of the author card of the dictionary card catalogue, the same linotype composition being used from which the cards and the Monthly Bulletin have already been printed. Volumes added in order to complete sets of books, parts of which were listed in the former catalogues, are entered here, with references to those catalogues. The symbol at the right-hand side of the page, opposite each title, is the number to be used in calling for the book, and should be copied exactly. If the work is in more than one volume, the volume wanted should be specified. Call numbers preceded by the letter "r" designate books in the reference collection, which cannot be taken from the Library. These books, as well as all others in the Library, may be consulted freely in the Reference room. The letter "j" prefixed to a call number indicates that the book is provided especially for the use of children. Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh |
