Children Study
Card Catalog
At Vaughan School
The children in grades three
through seven at Vaughan
Elementary School studied the
use of the card catalog in the
library. The card catalog is
actually a cabinet filled with
drawers. Cards filed in
alphabetical order are in the
drawers. These cards are an
alphabetical guide to the
materials in the library.
Actually it is a large index
similar to the index in the back
of a book. The students viewed
a film strip on the card catalog,
they worked on skill cards and
practiced with cards like those
in the catalog.
The younger children in K-2
viewed educational television
programs. They also became
familiar with the title page of a
book. The title page shows the
title of'the book, the author, illustrator,
publisher. The copyright
date is found on the back
of the title page in most books.
It is important for children to
become aware of these facts
about the books they read.
There are displays of
interesting books concerning
units of study in some classes.
There is also a display on the
card catalog and the Dewey
Decimal system of classifying
books.
