The subject catalogue is almost unique, the only other system with a similar principle being that used by Yale. Elsewhere a "dictionary catalogue" is used. In the subject catalogue there are about five hundred main subjects under which are grouped minor subjects in the same general field. Thus the general subject "Languages" is divided into countries and these...
