To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ob- viously it is not for the way-faring man: equally ob- viously not for the child just entering school. Clearly persons who wish to read or study some definite book or some subject are the normal users of card catalogs. For the idle or the curious browser these are the open shelves; for the fiction seeker, the finding Kst and more open shelves; for the child, the children's room; for the man in haste, the reference collection and its attend- ants. What a change from a generation ago! I rememb...er too well my despair at searching an author catalog for "something to read" on a Saturday night in my Alma Mater's library, where were no open shelves, no circulation, no reference collection, and no lists of fiction. Is it not plain that these developments of the past twenty years have accompanied the supplanting of the old book catalog and finding list and their replace- ment by the card catalog? Is it not a perfectly fair statement that in the users of a card catalog there may be presumed some modicum of intelHgence and a more than passing interest in some topic?
