The Library does not collect in pastoral theology and counselling, nor in those areas which relate primarily to the practical aspects of clerical and parochial life. The Jewish Division , Room 84, collects in the Old Testament and has critical studies on it and its individual books by Jewish and non-Jewish scholars. Materials on non-Christian religions are normally available in other divisions. The following information is specific to the topic at hand. For advice on subject headings in the pre-1972 Dictionary Catalog , consult the librarians at the Information Desk.
Saints Works by or about Christian saints are to be found under the name of the saint in question.
Thus, if you wish to research Saint Bartholomew, check under Bartholomew , not Saint Bartholomew. In the field of church history, note different arrangements between the Library's two catalogs. The Dictionary Catalog uses the subject heading Church History to include not only general works in the area but also materials dealing with the church history in specific countries. The different editions of the complete Bible are listed in the catalogs before the editions of the New and Old Testaments and other separately published parts of the Bible. Different editions of the complete Bible are arranged by language and, within that, by year.
