There are different types of card catalogs, including author catalog, title catalog, subject catalog, and shelflist catalog. An author catalog arranges entries by the names of the authors; a title catalog organizes entries alphabetically by the titles of the materials; a subject catalog categorizes entries by subjects or topics; and a shelflist catalog lists materials in the order they appear on the library shelves. These card catalogs were commonly used in libraries before the transition to electronic catalogs.

An inner form of catalog shows the arrangement of the card catalog. It is for the order that entries are arranged in the catalog.
Tracings" is terminology from the card catalog. Before the time of printed cards (in which each card contains all of the bibliographical information) there was a primary card that had along the bottom a list of all of the headings that would be entered into the catalog for that bibliographic item. These included added authors, series entries, and subject entries. This card served as the control card for the item; if the item were withdrawn from the library, this card would list all of the cards that would need to be removed from the catalog, so that the librarian could "trace" them through the catalog. In electronic catalogs, the term can be used to refer to the set of added entries in the bibliographic record.
When card catalogs were common in libraries, they offered multiple ways to look up books. The one which most people think of is the author catalog which tracks books alphabetically by author. The other two are Title (alphabetically by title) and Subject (alphabetically by subject). The subject catalog may have multiple entries for the same book.
There are several types of card catalog: Author catalog, which sorts alphabetically according to the author's name. Title catalog, which sorts alphabetically according to the title of the entry. Dictionary catalog, which sorts all entries (author, title, subject, and series) alphabetically. Keyword catalog, which sorts alphabetically according to a system of keywords. Systematic catalog, which sorts subjects alphabetically according to a systematic subdivision of subjects. Shelf list catalog, which is a formal catalog that has entries sorted in the same order as bibliographic items are shelved. This is typically the primary inventory for the library.
