Card catalogs for sale!
Someone refer us to this article
“Relied upon by generations of students to find books for term papers, research projects and pleasure, the University of Washington’s card catalogs no longer are crammed with index cards worn by notations of Shakespeare and the American Revolution.”

I would love to have a little one, but these are monsters. The library where I work couldn’t give ours away. Huge muthas, they were.

My, what sleek beauties!

Save Our History!
If there is somewhere,,,anywhere a museum of
library science…a wooden card catalog…
with catalog cards should be there…among
other artifacts.

(This from the man who pushes toy soldiers around a table top for a hobby).
Ah, if only I lived in Seattle.
sold out!
what I heard was they sold 145 card catalogs in about an hour. Damn!!
