I’m, ‘You had to look up the library book you wanted on tiny paper file cards’ years old.
@HamonWry I did all of my masters degree thesis research using University of Washington library. It was huge with whole area filled with indexes of journals issued monthly to quarterly and annually. I was going to Western Washington University in Bellingham and drove down almosr every week with list of references to find in the library card catalog. UW library was huge. I'd find the source, copy it (articles). I still have those boxes of copies.
