----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 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.
