Some of the founding fathers of economics as a profession and an academic 
subject, e.g. Alfred Marshall, were also active in the creation of library 
catalogs. One of my students is interested in the reasons behind the 
structure of the library catalogs in economics from the beginning of the 
century (1890-1910). Which models did they use? 1) The structure from 
courses in economics? 2) The contents of the main textbooks? 3) The reasons 
and methods of the time behind subject catalogs in general? 
 
Any literature about this issue will be highly appreciated. 
 
Yours sincerely, 
Jorgen R. Elkjaer
