Abstract

Presents a brief acount of the career of John Wallace Metcalfe, focusing on his work at the Public Library of New South Wales (PLNSW) and New South Wales University Library, where he was deeply involved in the theory and practice of cataloguing, classification and indexing. Concludes with notes on his establishment of a library school within the PLNSW and his teaching there. Notes his long term conviction of the superiority of alphabetical subject catalogues over classified catalogues and his adherence to the ideas of Charles Ammi Cutter
