About the Book

Practical Cataloguing (CCC) has been specially written for students and teachers of Library and Information Science to support the study and practice of practical cataloguing based on S. R. Ranganathan’s Classified Catalogue Code (CCC). In Library and Information Science education, cataloguing is generally taught through separate theoretical and practical papers in B.Lib.Sc. and M.Lib.Sc. courses across various universities in India, and this book aims to simplify the practical aspects of the subject.

The book focuses on the preparation of catalogue entries on cards for constructing library catalogues that satisfy different user approaches and access requirements. It explains the use of one of the most important cataloguing codes used in Indian libraries — the Classified Catalogue Code developed by Dr. Ranganathan.

Organized systematically into several chapters, the book explains the process of preparing entries for different categories of books ranging from simple works to multi-volume and composite publications. Numerous examples have been included to clarify the rules and practical application of the code in an easy and understandable manner.

Written in a simple and student-friendly style, this publication serves as a valuable practical guide for B.Lib.Sc. and M.Lib.Sc. students, cataloguing learners, teachers, librarians, and professionals involved in technical processing and library organization.
