RSS FeedThe Card Catalog Is Dead! Long Live The OPAC!
At the Public Library recently we noticed that the last remnants of the card catalog had been removed. Although DC switched long ago to an OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) they still had the old card catalogs in the middle of the library, right behind the information desk. For a while many public internet terminals sat on top of the old card catalog, but those have now been moved to shelves along the back wall.
We asked library employees what was going to happen to the space where the card catalogs had been, they were not positive but thought the space might house even more quick Internet terminals (15 mins of less).
