- This cataloging format is designed for use by business,
- government, schools, and individuals who need to catalog detailed
- information about books, articles and technical papers. You can
- catalog a library and then locate a book, or article in a
- magazine, by any one of up to 21 characteristics. For example,

- Washington in a history library or find all the information on
- chemical recovery boilers in a technical library.
