4 GPS LIBRARY THE CATALOG SYSTEM The cataloging system is loosely based on the set up of the MICHEL DEUTSCHLAND SPEZIAL KATALOG Vol.1 & 2. There are now 17 sections. See page v for a complete listing. Everything is now in a logical order beginning with Section A) The Old German States and ending with Section S - Remainder [material that may be too broad to fit into anyone specific section, topic or category]. Each item in the library is now listed using an Alpha-Numeric format [see below].
