CHAPTER PAGE
Dr. Cyril Barber and I have been close friends and colleagues in ministry for
over twenty years. I realized early in our relationship that the man was
destined to make a significant contribution to the cause of Christ, but little did
I realize how extensively he would be used!
An author with as prolific a pen as this man must be well read, which he is.
This means he must also possess a sizable library, which he does. And that
means he ought to have much to say about books, which he has! It is contained
in this fine volume you are holding in your hands — The Minister's Library.
Many bibliographical works are studies in futility for ministers and
ministers-to-be. Some are so heavy and detailed that they become a source of
frustration to pastors and seminary students alike. Or they are so general and
superficial that they lack the resourcefulness a book of this nature should
provide. This volume is different. It is thorough without being tedious, and
that makes it practically useful to those of us who are busily engaged in tasks
that have deadlines.
For the past ten years I have returned to The Minister's Library again and
again. I cannot recall a time when I have sought the counsel of this reference
work without being steered in the right direction. I’m confident you will derive
the same benefits as you keep it on a shelf near your fingertips. Of one thing I
am sure—it will gather no dust.
I am delighted to know that Moody Press has published this new edition. Dr.
Barber has added a few new entries that have come to his attention during the
past decade. What we now have is essentially the same excellent content as
before—a work that informs the reader of those books that will prove
personally helpful and enhance public ministry.
The Minister's Library is a masterful work. Without reservation, I commend it
to you.

Classification may be defined as the process whereby books are assigned an
appropriate place on a library shelf in accordance with their content. In order
to ascertain the classification number of a particular book, reference should be
made to the title page, the table of contents, and the preface. Of course, you
may be familiar with the contents of the book. In this case, classification will be
relatively easy. One rule to bear in mind is this: classify broadly. If you are
familiar with the contents of the book, reference can easily be made to the
relative index (a subject classification) in chapter 3, or to volume 3 of the
unabridged edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system. For
convenience, Broadman Press of Nashville, Tennessee, has issued in an
inexpensive format the RELIGION 200 section of the DDC.
ASSIGNING CLASSIFICATION NUMBERS
When the classification number has been found, reference should still be
made to the schedules in volume 2 of the DDC, because only in this way can
you determine which of the suggestions or alternatives is correct. For example,
books on evangelism may be placed in the following categories: 248.5, 253.7,
or 269.2. Each of these classifications is perfectly valid in itself. It is important,
however, to determine the exact nature and scope of the book and then to
Classifying Your Library 11
assign to it the proper number. For example, if the book in question deals with
personal evangelism, it should go in the 248.5 category. If it is designed for
pastors, then the class number 253.7 is more appropriate. If, however, it is
concerned with mass evangelism, then obviously 269.2 is a better place for it.
By using the information in the relative index and the schedules of the
DDC, you will be able to classify all the books in your library.
Encyclopedias of religion will receive a 200.3 classification; Bible dictionar
ies and encyclopedias will receive a 220.3 classification; commentaries on the
whole Bible will be assigned the 220.7 class number; works in the field of
doctrine and theology will be placed in the 230 category; those dealing with
the different aspects of the life of Christ will be subdivided under 232; books
on pastoral theology under 250, and so on.
EDITIONS
what is on the title page. In this way the author or main entry differs from the
author statement. The only exception to this rule is if the author statement is
an integral part of the title.
Titles like Sir, Dr., Ph.D., and Professor are generally omitted from the card.
In the event that a book has been written by more than one person and the
words “by” and “and” do not appear on the title page, those words are added
and are placed in brackets [ ].
If the book was written by more than one person, only the name of the first-
mentioned author is put in the author entry. The names of the other
contributors, editors, or compilers are reserved for the body of the card. (See
Fig. 9.)
If the book was written by a committee, the main entry will bear the name of
the committee or the association sponsoring the work.
The body of the card follows the main entry and begins on the second line.
This material is typed eleven spaces in from the left edge of the card (the second
indention), and the succeeding lines of the body of the card begin at the first
indention. The body of the card consists of (1) title, (2) subtitle, (3) author
statement, (4) edition statement and (5) imprint (i.e., the place of publication,
the name of the publisher, and the date). Illustrations and material pertaining
to a foreword are included only if they appear on the title page. If this is the
case, they go between the author statement and the edition statement.
Only the first letter of the title is capitalized unless other words in the title
are proper nouns. A subtitle, if included, follows immediately after the title
Cataloging Your Library 25
and is separated from it by a comma, semicolon, or colon, depending upon the
rules of grammar. The title or subtitle is generally followed by a comma (when
the title and/or subtitle is short), and this in turn is followed by the author
statement. When the word “by” does not appear on the title page, it is enclosed
in brackets. The author statement is always followed by a period and appears
exactly the same way it is found on the title page. If there is more than one
author, then the other names are listed in the author statement exactly as they
appear on the title page.
If there is no author statement (i.e., if the author’s name is given in full on
the title page and there are no additional authors), the edition statement follows
the title or subtitle. The edition statement is always placed in brackets if the
information has to be taken from the verso of the title page. If the information
is found on the title page, the brackets are omitted. Periods or commas never
follow the use of brackets.
In the same paragraph, but leaving four spaces to separate it from the
author or edition statement, we have the imprint. This deals with the place of
publication, followed by a period. If, however, the year of publication does not
appear on the title page and the date can be obtained from the verso of the title
page, the date should be placed within brackets. In this case it is not preceded
by a comma, nor is it followed by a period. The name of the publisher is
generally shortened so that Harper and Row becomes “Harper”; and Baker
Book House becomes “Baker.” University presses, however, are never abbrevi
ated.
When turning to the title page, you may find that more than one city is
listed. If, for example, you find that the book is published simultaneously in
added to the library to insure that the call numbers have not been duplicated.
In a small library this is unlikely, and, if a duplication should occur, it can easily
and speedily be corrected.
F il in g
When the cards have been typed, they are ready for filing in a 3" X 5" card
catalog. They may be filed either word by word or letter by letter. However, the
tendency today is to file word by word. Foreign accent marks and punctuation
should be ignored. Initials are treated as one letter words. Abbreviations like
St. for Saint, and Dr. for Doctor are regarded as if spelled in full. Exceptions
are single letter abbreviations for geographic place names, for example, D. C.,
VT, GA.
The cards are filed in alphabetic order giving preference to (1) author cards,
with (2) title and (3) subject cards coming next. In the early stages of your
library, the filing of cards will be easy. However, as more and more cards are
added to your catalog, you will want to read the little booklet ALA Rules for
Filing Catalog Cards, by Pauline A. Seely (2d ed.; Chicago: American Library
Association, 1968).
All of this is designed to make the books in your library more usable to you in
your ministry. As you progress, classification will become easy, and cataloging
will not seem like a chore. And the important thing to remember is that it
serves as a reminder to you of what you have in your library! However, the
processing of books always takes second place to their selection, and the next
30 The Minister’s Library
few chapters are designed to help you select the best books for your own
personal library. Such reference tools as multi-volume sets—New York Times
Index, Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS)s Facts on File, and Cambridge
Ancient History, for example—need not be bought or subscribed to. They can
always be used in your nearest public library or a nearby college or university
library. Read wisely, but choose with care the books you want to have in your
own library. Buy them for the lasting value they will have and the benefit they
will be to you in your ministry.

Subject Guide
to Dewey Decimal
Classification
The following Subject Guide or Relative Index is one of the most important
aids in proper classification. When once you have determined the subject
matter of the book, the tentative classification may be arrived at by consulting
the Subject Guide. This does not do away with the need for checking the
tentative classification against the schedules. It can be of great help to you,
however, in outlining the different areas in which books may be classified.
In the following classification, the entries in italics differ from the Dewey
system, but not so as to impair the value of Melvin Dewey’s work.
