Some Tips on Learning Card Catalog Cards:
Locate the author’s name, Last name 1st – this will give you a reference point to compare all the information – Remember that the information is always written in the same order. Any differences are minor because of different publishers.
Look for ALL CAPITAL LETTER – has to be a Subject Card
If it’s NOT the Title or in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, then it probably is a Series Card
If it’s a name that is NOT the author’s, it probably is the Illustrator’s card; compare it to the Illustrator’s name entry – if it’s NOT the same, Maybe you have a Main Character Card
Real Life Uses• Helps with research for School Work• Learn to Use Libraries easier• Use Phone Books more effectively• Use other Catalogs (paper & electronic) more
effectively• Use Internet for research more effectively• Work effectively in small groups• Using Technology• Make Connections with Knowledge

It’s obviously not someone’s name; it’s not the title – they don’t match; it’s not in CAPITAL LETTERS, so it’s not the Subject; So it probably is the Series Card & it does match the entry that follows the Physical Description which is the Series information entry
For Part B of your Handout, look at each of the next four slides and decide if it is the Author, Title, Subject, or Series Card. Write the correct answer in the blank for
