Abstract

It is the primary aim of the study to meet the great need for an aid in the selection of local publications to help build a good collection for progressive secondary school libraries in this country. This supplement is a compilation of 535 selected and classified books considered useful for secondary school libraries in the Philippines. It includes fiction and non-fiction books written in English or Tagalog by Filipinos and published locally from the post-World War II period to 1969.

Following the pattern of the Standard Catalog for High School Libraries, complete bibliographic information is given for each title followed by the Dewey class number, subject headings and an annotation in Part 1- the classified catalog. Part 2 is the author index, Part 3 is the title index, Part 4 is the subject index and Part 5 is the directory of publishers.
