A catalog in more than one part is termed a

• A. Divided
• B. Monopaedia
• C. Split
• D. Multipart

Answer: (A)

Divided describes a catalog that is organized into more than one part. When a catalog isn’t kept in a single volume but is split into separate parts (for example, one part for authors and another for subjects, or separate sections for different formats), librarians refer to it as a divided catalog. This terminology highlights the catalog’s structure as made up of multiple components rather than one continuous volume. The other terms don’t match the standard way this structure is described in cataloging: monopaedia isn’t a recognized term for catalogs, split is a generic descriptor but not the formal term, and multipart isn’t the conventional label used in this context.
