Old Dartmouth Classification Schedules, Volume 1, Copy 1

Author Dartmouth College Library

Dateyyyy-mm-dd

abstractThe Old Dartmouth Classification Schedules is a classification system for books, created and used by the Dartmouth College Library in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Dartmouth Library Cataloging System was developed by Marvin Davis Bisbee, Dartmouth Class of 1871, appointed librarian at Dartmouth College in 1887. It was modeled after a system created by Charles Ammi Cutter, a library science pioneer of the time. The new system tracked objects by subject, author, and title. Although new materials in the Dartmouth College Library collections are no longer classified in this system, many titles are still cataloged and shelved by the Old Dartmouth Classification scheme.

  • Without blue or buff cards: All others.
Catalog briefly and be sparing of secondary entries. Simple collation for modern imprints.

Challenge older N.H. imprints, and White Mt. material.
Watch for all Al. Alc. items also.
Check call no. in pamphlet file before having cards typed or marking pamphlet, because the pamphlet shelf-list does not contain cards for all pamphlets added before 1945.

  • An unaccessioned pamphlet as a pamphlet only. (Occasionally pamphlets that have been in the library
    in other locations are sent though to be cataloged for the classified pamphlet file. These are often unaccessioned.)
