Last Printed Catalogue Card by OCLC
by N.S. Harinarayana 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

OCLC has printed the last library card yesterday! The first printed card by OCLC was in 1971. By mid-1980s, its printed catalogue production reached the peak. For more and interesting details visit https://www.oclc.org/en-US/news/releases/2015/201529dublin.html What is its implication to libraries in India? The trend of using computer catalogues in Indian libraries are on the steep rise. The demand for card catalogue cabins has fallen to nadir. Those who are still using card catalogues have to switch over to the computer catalogues in the interest of efficacy in information retrieval and user-friendliness. A few implications for library schools also. Should they need to stop teaching cataloguing in the card catalogue formats? Should they immediately start MARC and RDA based cataloguing? These are the questions to ponder over! N.S. Harinarayana Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Mysore 570 006 Off.
