Oberlin’s Card Catalog

July 2nd, 2009

After AL Direct mentioned the web page on The Library History Buff website dealing with Harvard's catalogue cards, I was contacted by Ed Vermue, Special Collections and Preservation Librarian for the Oberlin College Library. Vermue has put together a very nice web page on the history of Oberlin's early card catalog. Kudos to Vermue for his efforts in preserving some of the early catalog cards and catalog card cases used by the Oberlin College Library. Unfortunately not enough librarians value the artifacts of our library heritage. It is refreshing to find one who does.

In related news Jessica Lu qualified to move on to the semifinals however voluntarily stepped out of the competition due to scheduling conflicts. Members of the Lib-r-Bocce organizing committee adamantly deny the rumors she was forced out of the tournament because it was discovered she played Bocce as a professional under a different name.
