Goals of Descriptive Cataloging
1. To enable a person to find a document of which
the author, or
the title, or
the subject is known
2. To show what a library has
by a given author
on a given subject (and related subjects)
in a given kind (or form) of literature.
3. To assist in the choice of a document
as to its edition (bibliographically)
as to its character (literary or topical)
