I also remember when there weren't computers in libraries, and you had to look books up in this thing called the "Card Catalog". And all the books were organized by this thing called the "Dewey Decimal system", and they used to make you memorize what all the numbers meant because that was the only way you'd ever find a book. I'm so glad we have computers now . . . but then again, maybe it was better the old way . . .
awww man i loved card catalogs. do they still have one at your library?
well, i checked the library by my house, and there is no sign of a card catalog. to be fair though, that library was just finished a few years ago. I bet if i checked the old one, i might find the ol' card catalog in there . . . unless they just replaced it with more computers . . .
yea im wondering if they'll take it out of the one in my hometown because they are redoing the libary/townhall building
They have one at my school library still
I haven't stepped foot in a library in like 3 years, but last time I did I was confused. I knew how to use the card catalog but I didn't know how to use the setup they had. I felt all stupid.
ugh, that stupid thing....i refused to learn it
