Some Tips on Learning Card Catalog Cards:

Locate the author’s name, Last name 1st – this will give you a reference point to compare all the information – Remember that the information is always written in the same order. Any differences are minor because of different publishers.Look for ALL CAPITAL LETTER – has to be a Subject CardIf it’s NOT the Title or in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, then it probably is a Series CardIf it’s a name that is NOT the author’s, it probably is the Illustrator’s card; compare it to the Illustrator’s name entry – if it’s NOT the same, Maybe you have a Main Character Card

Notice that every letter is CAPITALIZED. It must be a Subject Card – You don’t even have to guess what it is

FIC

It’s obviously not someone’s name; it’s not the title – they don’t match; it’s not in CAPITAL LETTERS, so it’s not the Subject; So it probably is the Series Card & it does match the entry that follows the Physical Description which is the Series information entry
