Thing 7 -- Technology

You mean, where's the card catalog? You might think I'm a technophobe but I'm not...really. As with most things for me, I want to fully understand each new cataloging product or method that is available. Cataloging tools change constantly and I change (if it's needed) with them. We attend the Potomac Technical Public Librarians meeting each year and discuss "new" and "old" things. This group has been meeting annually since the 1920s - 1930s...can you imagine all the "new technologies" that have been discussed over the years? We've gone from librarian handwriting on catalog cards to RFID and beyond.
