Dear professionals,
How to prepare a shelf list for a well stacked library?
Which one displays the list subject or subject heading?

1. Shelf List must be prepared at the time of accessioning.
2. your Question is not clear, while the complete information of a book (bibliographical information) must be included.
3. If you have assigned the call number in your catalogue, then the same must be their please.

Dear Sri VAITHIYANATHAN
A shelf list is essentially a replica of your actual arrangement of materials in racks.
It is basically the catalogues arranged on the basis of Call Numbers.
By browsing through the shelf list, you can identify the actual location of a particular document in the rack.
In our Library we keep them that way..
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
