CATALOGUE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY DIFFERENCE

 Catalogue and bibliography are of synonymous terms indicating  list of books or documents but there lies a basic difference between this two terms

1. Catalogue is a list of books available in a particular library or libraries on the other hand bibliography is a list of  documents published  either by author or subject or on a geographical entity

2. Catalogue shows the location of the document in which particular library document  will be available  or not but  bibliography does not shows the location of document .It is merely a list of generalized collection and not a particular collection

3. Catalogue is indicated by its call number and accession number but bibliography is followed by its class number not by accession number

4. catalogue is   followed by  code such as (AACR2R ,CCC, RDC etc) but bibliography does not follow any code

5. In case of catalogue potency ( strength) of document mainly  lies on author , title ,subject or call number because user may use these type of  technique for location of document   ,  but in bibliography potency mainly  lies on its  imprint because it informs about the production or  existence of document

6 In case of catalogue different types of documents find its place but in bibliography all types of document do not find their place  viz  in INB , BNB( Map, Atlas guide to text book,Ephemeral materials  are not recorded for bibliographic information)

 

.7 Example of catalogue : WORLD CAT CATALOGUE  , NUCCSSI , NSOU ONLINE CATALOGUE

. Bibliography e.g : INB , BNB , TRADE CATALOGUE etc
