Figure 5-21.—A sacred oratorio.
MATERIALS
Basic materials you will need for setting up or
maintaining the religious music library are the 3-inch
by 5-inch card file, a standard four- or standard five-
drawer file cabinet, and large unfranked envelopes.
PROCEDURES
The cards should be divided into the following
three sections to allow for a cross-reference system:
1. An alphabetical card listing containing the
title and series of numbers that will readily identify
the location of the music. The Roman numeral
identifies the file cabinet; the first Arabic numeral
identifies the drawer, and the second Arabic numeral
identifies the envelope. For example; 1.2-38 shows
that the music listed is located in file cabinet number
1, drawer 2, and envelope 38. Only one title is listed
on each card. The following additional information
should appear on each index card:
Date, source of purchase, and number of copies.
