LIBRARY CATALOG Library catalog is a register of all bibliographic items found in a library or group of libraries, such as a network of libraries at several locations. A bibliographic item can be any information entity (Wikipedia) The card catalog was a familiar sight to library users for generations, but it has been effectively replaced by the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) Codes called "call number" relate the books to the catalog, and determine their locations on the shelves Books, and other materials in library are shelved in Call Number order
