A catalog in which all entries are filed in alphabetical order is called a dictionary catalog. Which catalog is described as containing all entries filed in alphabetical order?

• A. Alphabetical Catalog
• B. Dictionary
• C. Subject Catalog
• D. Classified Catalog

Answer: (B)

When entries are arranged in strict alphabetical order, the format is a dictionary catalog. This setup treats each catalog entry like a dictionary headword, placing items from A to Z so you can locate a specific item by its main entry quickly. That distinguishes it from other catalogs: a subject catalog is organized by topics, a classified catalog groups items by classification numbers, and while an alphabetical order exists in various catalogs, the term that specifically describes an all entries listed alphabetically is dictionary. So the catalog described is the dictionary.
