What are your memories of card catalogues? I remember having the job of filing newly created cards as part of my work experience at Castle Hill Public Library (NSW, Australia) when I was about 16. I think of the old drawers fondly and the metal rods that you had to pull out to add or remove cards.
I have seen a few good uses made of the old card catalogue furniture (oooh how I'd love to find one in a junk shop) and some for the cards themselves, including this exhibition found via Librarian.net.
