Why do they keep them? I'm assuming the card
catalog was digitized, and rendered these
obsolete.
Just seems like a waste of space to keep
them all - recycle the whole thing, and use
the space to store more books. :)

Can you not appreciate both the beauty and
utility in additional books?
I'd say the same thing if they had a lab
full of Apple //e's. While wonderful, it's
painfully obsolete and the resources could be
put to better use.

Card catalogs are expensive to gert rid of
and people get pissed off. If they removed
them, the space would NOT be filled with
books but would be filled with computers. I
like haivng them around. Also, especially in
old catalogs, there is information in the
cards that never makes it into the digital
catalogs. People don't care much about such
marginalia, but there is some value to it.

I remember - in beginning of my carrier I had
filed cards in similar catalogs. Well that
was in 1988 at Panjab University Library,
Chandigarh (India). I will check up whether
they still have it.

I remember happily heading over to the card
catalog (now gone) at the University of Iowa
one day when I was in high school and the
system that ran the computer catalog was
down. Many people seemed panicky and
confused. I also used it when all the
computer stations were full and I didn't feel
like waiting.

I worked there (UT Austin) in the 1980s. Not
long after the card catalogs were closed, a
faculty member suggested that as a backup for
the new online catalog, we print out
individual catalog records on 3x5 slips and
put them in file drawers. In all fairness,
it may have been intended as a joke ...
