Abstract: A preceding paper examined concepts and components common to many types of library circulation systems; this paper attempts to identify and describe aspects that are particular to manual circulation systems. It assumes a manual file of records in the general form of paper cards or slips, for items that are charged or otherwise absent. It then discusses principles of record creation and coding (before, at or after transaction time), and file organization and processing. It identifies questions that are suitable for further investigation.
