Cataloging for Small Libraries is a comprehensive and practical guide designed to assist librarians in organizing and managing smaller collections with efficiency and precision. Written by Theresa Hitchler, a prominent figure in library science, this work provides clear, step-by-step instructions on the fundamental principles of cataloging, from the creation of card catalogs to the systematic arrangement of bibliographic records.

The manual addresses the unique challenges faced by small institutions, emphasizing simplicity and consistency over complex technicality. It covers essential topics such as descriptive cataloging, subject headings, and the physical preparation of books for the shelves. By focusing on the practical needs of the library and its patrons, Hitchler ensures that even those without extensive formal training can maintain a professional and accessible library system.
