A short title catalog is a bibliographical resource. It identifies, attempting to be comprehensive, books on a certain subject, or from a certain time period or area. Original books frequently have lengthy, descriptive titles on their cover pages, and are more conveniently described in an abbreviated fashion with the most important words of those titles.
