“The cataloger does not have the time or opportunity to read according to his preference but must dip into volume after volume, passing from one author to another and from one subject to another, making contacts with all minds of the world’s history and entering into the society of mental superiors and inferiors. Catalogers find their work a realm as large as the universe.”
- margaret mann, introduction to cataloging and the classification of books (2nd edition from 1943)
