What is "cataloging"?
Cataloging is the process of organizing and listing items, such as books, in a systematic way to make them easier to find and manage. This involves creating detailed records for each item, which may include information like the title, author, publication date, and subject matter. Cataloging is commonly used in libraries, bookstores, and archives to ensure that items are properly classified and accessible. It helps users locate specific items and supports the overall organization and maintenance of a collection.
