There’s so much room for activities!
Half of the space in Butler 310 that was taken up by the card catalog is now occupied by new neat-o desks and chairs for studying.
Which is a good thing, since apparently the catalog hadn’t been updated since 1985.
You can go ahead and leave your condolences for this dying and painfully time-consuming research form in the comments.

@A guy Hmm, they look super skimpy. Ruins the room’s ambiance.
@Anonymous sure the card catalog was useless, but it was pretty badass nonetheless
@Anonymous All those cards have my semen on them anyways.
@Anonymous they are probably waiting for alums to make donations for fancy wooden chairs/desks with engravings, when really what they’ll do is just use some old ass chair they found in the garbage, get a $2 name plate made, and pocket the rest of the money.
@well shit they should at least put in tables and chairs that don’t look like they belong in fucking lerner. unsurprising that they didn’t, though.

@a catalog i want one i want one
@had to “‘Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,’ murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. “
@Also Some librarians have told me that some stuff is (was) in the card catalog that simply wasn’t in CLIO. But, most of all, the cards made Butler more time-travelly.
@but, but... they had character!
@Melvil Dewey Fuck this shit.
@Anonymous god, how ugly
@Anonymous You’d think they’d have at least put wooden chairs and desks in to match the rest of the room…
@GS Give it time.
@Thomas Vinciguerra Did anyone think to save the clock on top of the catalogue?
@the clock is still there. It’s on the name/title catalog; it’s the subject catalog that was removed.
