Abstract

The article thematizes cataloguing the field of literature in the National and University Library in Zagreb, and presents a number of typical examples. Several key elements which occur with sufficient frequency as subjects of the catalogued publications are presented. These are: authors, their writings and other aspects of their life and works; groups of writers, literature/national literature; genre and other theoretical terms, specific topics of the publication (for instance animals in literature, literature and politics, etc.), specific aspects of the subject term; literary era/period/movement, as well as geographical, period-related and formal characteristics. Furthermore, several examples from other catalogues are shown, especially from the Library of Congress whose catalogue, since 2010 serves as model for subject cataloguing in the National and University Library in Zagreb.
