Cataloging & Classification Quarterly is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal that publishes articles about library cataloging, classification, metadata, indexing, information retrieval, information management, and other topics related to library cataloging. Despite its name, the journal is published eight times a year, but occasionally some issues are combined. Thematic issues are interspersed with general issues.
