H 1360 Catalogs
Note: The order of
subject headings used in the text and examples in this instruction sheet is not
significant, since the actual arrangement of headings in each individual case
is determined according to the provisions of H 80. In the examples below, the additional
headings that may be required for the particular kinds of objects involved, such
as the headings for antiquities required by H 1225, Archaeological Works, have
been omitted because they are not pertinent to the topic of this instruction
sheet.
1. General rule.
Use the subdivision –Catalogs as a free-floating form subdivision under types of objects, including types of merchandise, art objects, collectors' items, technical equipment, etc., for listings of those objects that have been produced, that are available or are located at particular places, or that occur on a particular market, often systematically arranged with descriptive details, prices, etc., accompanying each entry.
Use –Catalogs under the heading Excavations (Archaeology) as well as under headings for individual archaeological sites for works listing objects found.
Use –Catalogs under artists or craftspersons and families of artists or craftspersons for works listing their art works or crafts that are located in, or available for purchase at, particular institutions or places.
Use –Catalogs under names of persons and families doing business as sellers under their own names.
Also use –Catalogs under types of organizations and names of individual corporate bodies for works listing objects, art works, products, etc., located in or available from those organizations.
Examples:
650 #0 $a Automobiles $v Catalogs.
650 #0 $a Art objects $v Catalogs.
650 #0 $a Food service $x Equipment and supplies $v Catalogs.

For catalogs of publications, see H 1361, Catalogs of
Library Materials, and H 1965, Publishers' Catalogs.
2. Companion
headings.
The subdivision –Catalogs is assigned to works that list
objects located in particular places or collections. In accordance with H 1427, assign additional
headings when possible to bring out where the objects are located and in what
collection, if any.
a. Objects in particular
kinds of institutions. Assign a
heading for the type of institution in which the objects are located with the
subdivision –Catalogs, unless other provisions have been made, such as the use
of Catalogs, Union–[place] (see H 1361, sec. 1).
650 #0 $a [objects] $v Catalogs.
650 #0 $a [kind of institution] $v
Catalogs.
Examples:
650 #0 $a Stone implements $z
650 #0 $a
Archaeological museums and collections $z
650 #0 $a Sculpture $z
650 #0 $a
Art museums $z
Do not assign a heading of this
type if the objects are located in an individual institution, society, or
collection.
b. Objects in a particular
institution or society and/or collection. Assign additional headings for the name of
the institution (or society) and the name of the collection, if any, using the
subdivision –Catalogs under each heading.
650 #0 $a [objects] $v Catalogs.
610 X0 $a [the name of the
institution or society] $v Catalogs.
6XX X0 $a [name of the collection] $v
Catalogs.
If the named collection is a
private collection, use a heading of the type [objects]–Private collections–[place]–Catalogs
as the first heading (except for collections of library materials, which are
discussed in H 1361). For the specific
private collection subdivisions used under names of persons, see H 1427.
650 #0 $a [objects] $x Private
collections $v Catalogs.
610 X0 $a [the name of the
institution or society] $v Catalogs.
6XX X0 $a [name of the private
collection] $v Catalogs.
Examples:
650 #0 $a Stone implements $z
610 20 $a
610 20 $a
African Early Man Collection (
650 #0 $a Stone implements $x
Private collections $z
610 20 $a
600 10 $a Doe, John $x
Archaeological collections $v Catalogs.
3. Natural objects
and musical items.
Use the subdivision –Catalogs and collections instead of –Catalogs under objects that belong to either of these categories, for example, Beetles–Catalogs and collections; Piano–Catalogs and collections. Do not interpose the subdivision –Private collections between the heading for the objects and the subdivision –Catalogs and collections.
Example:
650 #0 $a Brass instruments $v Catalogs
and collections $z
610 20 $a Shrine to
600 10 $a Larson, Anne B. $x Musical instrument collections $v Catalogs.
