an author card or main entry card is a formal card arranged alphabetically according to the author's name. An Author card contains only one title of a book by a certain author, thus if the library has 10 different books of William Shakespeare, then one will find 10 author cards on Shakespeare.

3 types of author card
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.
