Pamphlet Reference System is Put into Use By S. C. Library
Recognising the Importance of pamphlet material for referenoe, Mrs. ElUabeth A.

Her plan la a combined decimal and alphabetical method whereby the pamphlets are srrauged first as to alphabetical lndlca tion and secondly by the point method which designates particular subject matter or content.
Important is the decimal clas
slflcatlon for it possesses an elasticity which prevents re-catalogu-ing of books and saies much time and effort. It affords infinite e* panslon between the different subjects aud maintains an undisturbed alphabetical listing.
Cards after they had been tran-
scribed properly were filed ln the cabinets of the familiar Dewey classification system. Pamphlets have therefore been elevated to a new1 level, equivalent to that of books. As with ordinary tomes, wllh the exception that the title la'her than the author determines the alphabetical index, a pamphlet on air law would he found under A 56. Again, state taxation it known as T-M.
