Our New Title Booklist is a special service provided by the Catalog Department of the Maxwell Library to inform the faculty, students, and staff at Bridgewater State College of the new materials acquired by the library each month (about 1,000 new titles every month). The main entry body of the Booklist is arranged in 32 very broad subject headings (fig. 1), most of which are based on LC Classification Schedules such as EDUCATION and HISTORY. But some headings are actually locations, for example, REFERENCE is used for our REFERENCE collection and CURRICULUM is used for textbooks, instructional aids, and the children's and young adult collections. Within individual subject headings, entries are arranged by call numbers (fig. 2). The cover page is a brief index that leads individual departments to their relevant subject headings (fig. 3).
