subject card

author card

in the title card...the first item you'll gonna see is the name of the author but the last name is first followed by it's complete name

in the subject card...the first item you will see is the subject..like PLANTS..TOYS..etc..u will easily identify the subject card if the first item u will see is not the author nor the title

in the title card.of course the first item u will see is the title..no doubts about that and it is the easiest among them all

the card catalog also includes the call number, publisher, date published, and so much more
