Cataloging & Classification Quarterly is dedicated to gathering and sharing information in the field of bibliographic organization. This highly respected journal considers the full spectrum of creation, content, management, use, and usability of bibliographic records and catalogs, including the principles, functions, and techniques of descriptive cataloging; the wide range of methods of subject analysis and classification;

provision of access for all formats of materials; and policies, planning, and issues connected to the effective use of bibliographic data in catalogs and discovery tools.  The journal welcomes papers of practical application as well as scholarly research.  All manuscripts are peer reviewed.  Once published, papers are widely available

through Taylor & Francis’ Informaworld database and other outlets.
