Luddite Library Patron

Okay, we're feeling a little baffled.

Most libraries have moved to an online form of Ye Old Carde Catalogue. This isn't something new or even shocking. I haven't seen a library with the old-fashioned pull-out drawer card catalog in years.

Well, a man just came and looked around for the old school catalog and when he discovered that we only had a computer version, he flew into a rage and stormed out of the building.

Hey, buddy! Join the rest of us in the 21st century. Or even the late 20th for that matter.

I don't remember the public library I've been going to since kindergarten having a card catalog. It was always at least on microfiche. So, that's at least since 1980... maybe he hasn't ventured outside since the 70s? he's still got rotary dial phones and tvs without remotes and 8 track players?

doesn't exactly make him a luddite . . . perhaps just plain crazy.
