Mock Cover: "In the dark, Dark room & other scary stories" by Alvin schwartz

Been chipping away at this piece for a couple weeks in between personal stuff, freelance, and work. Here’s my mock cover art for one of my favorite scary books as a kid, Alvin Schwartz’s ” In A Dark, Dark Room & Other Scary Stories.” Its a book that is on the banned book list. I remember in elementary school, every year for Halloween I’d check this book out. I loved it so much. Still do even as…

The card catalog. (credit: Pinterest)

#Cardcatalog

Before there was HOLLIS, researchers used to find books in the Fine Arts Library by using the card catalog. Some of our staff remember them very well! Mary Jane Cuneo, senior serials cataloger who works on FAL materials, shared the following memory:

“I have to admit, I was there as a cataloger at the time of card catalogs. We typed subject headings on cards we had ordered from the Library of Congress, on a typewriter equipped with a card platen to hold the card steady; and used the red-ink part of the ribbon.

Students would interfile new cards “above the rod” and a supervisor would drop them after checking the filing by pulling out the rod and re-inserting it. To correct an error printed or typed on a card, we used a beast of a thing: the electric eraser. It was really heavy.

Also in our toolkit was a razor blade, to scrape and scratch away the unwanted text. When I started at the Fine Arts Library as a library assistant in 1976, this was part of my job. Truly amazing how far things have come!”

The first photograph dates from 1952 when our library was located within the Fogg Art Museum. The second photograph shows the card catalog for auction sales catalogs that we still have at the library. And the last image? An electric eraser.

Library Love

Some views of the UGA Main Library, as captured by the film crew of the UGA Office of Public Relations/Public Affairs around 1967.

We especially appreciate this view of the 1960s furniture in the library. Recent renovations have brought some of that look back, especially in the 3rd Floor Graduate Reading Room, but it’s nice to see contemporary footage of how it really was.

Starting my long overdue research at MdHS. #bmoreblockbyblock #mdhs #furlonglibrary #research #passanooneillfile #cardcatalog #buildinghistory #metadata #newyear

For just $249.99 Vintage Antique Library File Card Cabinet. This handsome cabinet has oak drawer fronts, top, sides, and bottom. We are not sure of the maker as it does not have a tag or plague that is legible. The drawer fronts are oak but the drawer interiors may be another wood. The wood slides for holding notecards, etc are still intact and ready for service! We are not sure of the date on this library card catalog but estimate it to be 1940s or 50s. We believe this cabinet was used in a small office or library as it is still in nice shape having some minor scratches and bumps as would be expected. The cabinet is sturdy and would work for a variety of fun purposes! Height Cabinet 5-1/2" Width 13-3/4" Depth 19-1/4" Shipping within continental US only. Shipping using FedEx or USPS, whichever is less.
