Citations should be numbered sequentially in the text using superscripted digits, in accordance with Chicago Manual of Style guidelines. The first citation of a reference should include full bibliographic information. A shortened bibliographic form, including author name, title, and page number, should be used for subsequent citations. When consecutive citations refer to the same work, “Ibid.” should replace the bibliographical information in citations after the first, with page number(s) added if the cited page(s) differ from those included in the immediately preceding citation.

Cataloging & Classification Quarterly emphasizes full-length research and review articles, descriptions of new programs and technology relevant to cataloging and classification, considered speculative articles on improved methods of bibliographic control for the future, and solicited book reviews. Topics include: cataloging and preservation; cataloging for digital resources; cataloging for special collections and archives; classification and subject analysis and access, descriptive cataloging; education and training for cataloging and classification; the internationalization of cataloging; management of cataloging and related functions; maps and other cartographic and spatial materials; online retrieval; usability issues related to the catalog; use of catalog records.
Cataloging & Classification Quarterly provides an effective international forum for information and discussion in the field of bibliographic organization. This highly respected journal considers the full spectrum of creation, content, management, use, and usability of bibliographic records, including the principles, functions, and techniques of descriptive cataloging; the wide range of methods of subject analysis and classification; provision of access for all formats of materials; and policies, planning, and issues connected to the effective use of bibliographic data in modern society.
The journal deals with the historic setting as well as with the contemporary, and with theory and scholarly research as well as with practical applications. In a rapidly changing field, it seeks out and fosters new developments in the transition to new forms of bibliographic control and encourages the innovative and the nontraditional. Computer applications and network systems are considered from the point of view of creators and users of bibliographic records rather than from that of technicians.
