Abstract

The elaboratlon of a limited part of the bock stock (education material) is performed by means of the machine punch card system. For the elaboration printed disposition forms are used, in the rubrics of which are registered the simplified title entry of the book, its stack-inventory-signature, its UDC notations, the sign indicating the character of the book (textbook for universities, secondary schools, etc.). When the disposition form is filled up by typewriting the investory sheet is at the same time prepared by inserting a carbon-paper. In the investory sheet some other dates (f. i. mode of acquisition, price, etc.) are registered as well. The disposition forms are collected and handed ovar to the enterprice for data processing. For every title entry is here prepared a series of cards. On every card of the series is registered a line of the title entry, further more the dates necessary for the preparation of the catalogues. From the obtained collection of cards after a suitable rearrangement with the sorter-machine the sheets containing the text of the catalogues are copied out by means of a tabulator-machine. In this manner the sheets of two catalogues are prepared, these of a catalogue alphabetically arranged according to the name of the authors and these of a catalogue according to the UDC system. In both catalogues the title entry and stack signature are included. Then the sheets are collected in volumes, in which the divers parts are separated by coloured register sheets. Further more two borrower's cards are prepared to each book likewise by machines. The monthly prepared new quantity of cards is joined with the former one and every month new volumes of cumulative catalogues are made. Hence the readers have every month new catalogues at their disposal which contain the whole former material. By this procedure much labor and time has been saved.
