Has anyone else noticed the reusing of card catalogs as office separators (instead of cubicle walls?) They did that at the college library I worked at in grad school and they have card catalog "walls" here in the back offices. Way to reuse relics of the past, libraries!
I've always wanted a card catalog as a personal piece of furniture, but if they look old and pretty they actually sell for quite a bit. I'm surprised your library even had them around still!
FYI: The vendor I work at still SELLS catalog cards, so people do still use them.
YES!

I also want an old card catalog! I look for them on eBay once every few months, and I'm always tempted, but the shipping is terrifying...
ReplyDeleteGwen I do the same thing! I even bid on one once, but it ended up out of my price range... Someday!
