Sound the Trumpets


FutureLawyer has admitted that card catalogs were superior to Googling.

I would add, far superior.

  1. I would make space in my place if I ever came across an old card catalogue. I'd find a use for it too.

    Same goes for one of those spinning carousel racks that used to hold paperback books. I could really use one of those.

    Absolutely.

    They evoke instant memories.

  3. I discovered a section (Ta - To)of our library's card catalog as a prop in a restaurant here in Baltimore. It still had our the cards in it. I offered to buy it, but they weren't selling.

  4. Harvey,

    What a disappointment!

    I wonder how they got it.

    [There may be a black market in old card catalogs.]

    You are the Director of the Library. Claim it was stolen, and demand its return. :-)
