  1. card catalogue

    A card catalogue is a traditional, physical system used in libraries for organizing and classifying books and other materials. It consists of numerous wooden drawers or cabinets, each containing numerous index cards. The cards typically contain information about a specific item, such as its title, author, genre, subject, and location on the library shelves. It serves as a tool for library users to locate the materials they need. With the advent of digital databases in the information age, many libraries have phased out their card catalogues, but some still exist.
