How to know your library book hasn’t been checked out in a really long time… like decades
So I ventured into the sub-basement of the library yesterday to fish out an old archaeology text. When I got to the check out desk I figured I might encounter some difficulties. Yep, the electronic scanner thingy wouldn’t pick it up. It hadn’t been checked out in so long that it was actually several decades behind the technological times. Look what I found in the front cover… (Dad you should recognize this…)

Egad! Put that book in the Smithsonian! I recently spent some work hours poking around the UAF library and discovered microcards. Not microfilm or microfiche, but opaque index cards with microscopic pages printed on them. No one can figure out how to read them.
