LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND NATIONAL UNION CATALOG AUTHOR LISTS, 1942-1962:

A twenty-one year supplement to A Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards, bringing together in one alphabet material from the following Library of Congress quinquennial printed catalogs:

• Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards—Supplement (1942 1947)

• The Library of Congress Author Catalog, 1948-1952

• The National Union Catalog:

A Cumulative Author List, 1953-1957

• The National Union Catalog:

A Cumulative Author List,

1958-1962

A Master Cumulation

•With about twenty-five percent of Gale’s 152-volume Library of Congress and National Union Catalog Author Lists, 1942-1962: A Master Cumulation completed, user response to the first volumes is unanimously enthusiastic. The consensus is that Gale’s cumulation of the four supplements to A Catalog of Books Represented by Library of Congress Printed Cards (published 1942) will be one of the most conveniently useful bibliographical and cataloging tools in the library.

The set will cumulate the Library of Congress cataloging represented by printed cards issued during the twenty-one years, 1942-1962, and cataloging for the National Union Catalog by other North American libraries from 1956 through 1962, a total of about 2,600,000 entries.

The standard of excellence established with the first volume of LC–NUC Author Lists, 1942-1962, and sustained through subsequent volumes, reflects the experience and professionalism of Gale’s skilled staff of librarians, linguists, specialists, and technicians. Their proficiency in making logical, consistent, and practical editorial judgments, based on modern rules, has permitted them to plan the organization of entries to most effectively meet the needs of the library. The savings in search time alone for anyone who uses LC printed catalogs frequently is an economic factor of major consequence.

LC–NUC Author Lists, 1942-1962,merits your serious consideration. Order and use the published volumes free for thirty days. Let us know when you have decided to keep them and we’ll bill you as volumes are delivered at $19.00 each. The total cost is $2,888.00. If, for any reason, they don’t work for you, return the volumes to us and you will be under no further obligation.
