Excerpt from Handbook of Card Distribution: With References to Bulletins 1-20 This edition Of the Handbook is designed to contain a concise explanation Of the usual methods Of ordering and using the L. C. Cards, and to furnish specific references to sections in the Bulle tins Of the Card Section in which explanation of unusual and alternative methods of ordering the cards may be found. A knowledge Of the scope of the stock of printed cards and a rational method of deciding and indicating how many copies Of a given card are needed being prime requisites to the successful ordering of the cards by any method, the information on these topics in Bulletins 11 and 12 has been restated in condensed form in this edition of the Handbook. As the A. L. A. Catalog is still used to a considerable extent by small public libraries as a means of ordering cards, the essen tial facts in Bulletin 6 have been restated in Part IV, 7. Facsimiles Of catalog cards have been introduced in Part Iv as an aid to the explanation of essential principles in the use Of the cards.
