AUDIT ROW #253 · LIBRARY AND PUBLISHER CATALOGUES, BY BIRTH AND RESIDENCE TIES

Run as its own cluster, as the checklist requires, the children's and nature shelf returns no Walkerton name. Library and publisher catalogues were swept under Walkerton birth and residence ties for the four kinds the item names — children's books, young-reader history, nature writing, and field guides. No author in any of the four kinds carries a Walkerton tie in the catalogues as reached. The negative is printed as the finding, at the size the record gives it: this is a small town whose documented shelf is a shelf of local history (the closing article of this section), and the absence of a young-reader or field-guide line is a fact about the record, not a gap in the search. The settler, if a name exists below catalogue strength, is the historical society's own catalogue, swept in the closing article for the local shelf and carrying no such title either.
