What Is an Online Card Catalog?
In about 800 CE the first library catalog was developed for the House of Wisdom in what is now Iraq. Since that time, and especially with the ease of publishing books that later came, most libraries have had to find ways of shelving books, and giving people who wanted to check them out a way of searching for them. For years, some form of card catalog system was used so that people could search, typically by author or title. Today, card catalogs are usually replaced by computer terminals where people can search, and these searches may not be limited to what’s in a library; instead many can use an online card catalog to widen access to material unavailable locally.
