catalogs

Systematic product listings

Catalogs is the plural of catalog, a systematic list or collection of items—books in a library, products for sale, courses at a university.

To catalog something is to organize it into such a list: She spent months cataloging the museum's collection.

The word extends to any comprehensive enumeration: He cataloged her faults one by one.

Also spelled catalogues.
