Discussion
Arrange the following according to the preferred sources to take information for cataloguing :
(i) Title page
(ii) Colophon
(iii) Preface
(iv) Outside source
Answer: A
The order is (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv): title page, colophon, preface, outside source.
The title page is the chief source of information for cataloguing a book. When it does not give an item of information, the cataloguer turns next to the other preliminaries and the colophon, then to the rest of the book, such as the preface, and only last to sources outside the item, with such information bracketed in the record.
Options B, C and D either drop the title page from first place or consult an outside source before the book itself is exhausted.
