    She just didn’t ask to see the thesaurus…
    …on the opac. Or maybe she missed the part where the librarian said, “And you use THIS key “*” to truncate your search.” I, too, miss the card catalog, but for reasons like the feel of the brass pulls struggling against the cards and the smell of the polish used on the wood.

    Ah, reminiscing.
