    Abstract
    This paper traces the history of the concept of intellectual level in cataloging and classification in the United States. Past cataloging codes, subject-heading practice, and classification systems have provided library users with little systematic information concerning the intellectual level or intended audience of works. Reasons for this omission are discussed, and arguments are developed to show that this kind of information would be a useful addition to the catalog record of the present and the future.

    Abstract
    Library catalogs function as guides to the literature by providing detailed subject indexing and categorization of documents by traditional bibliographic forms. Ways are suggested in which intellectual access to information through the catalog may be improved by focusing on other formal and purportive aspects of published documents. The concept of intellectual level is considered as one of these aspects, and ways are suggested in which catalogs might be expanded to use additional indexing of this sort in an automated environment to guide users to pertinent as well as relevant information.
