Some Tips on Learning Card Catalog Cards:

Locate the authors name, Last name 1st this will give you a reference point to compare all the information Remember that the information is always written in the same order. Any differences are minor because of different publishers. Look for ALL CAPITAL LETTER has to be a Subject Card If its NOT the Title or in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, then it probably is a Series Card
If its a name that is NOT the authors, it probably is the Illustrators card; compare it to the Illustrators name entry if its NOT the same, Maybe you have a Main Character Card
