Lisa, thanks for this. Lots of info and it made me smile. I thought I'd discovered the secrets of the universe when I was fourteen and I learned how to use the card catalogues and then find the books I wanted in the stacks of the UBC library.
I loved the card catalog too! Finding the book brought a warm sense of satisfaction. I need to remember the "Never hang up without asking for the name of another source" advice. Excellent!

Your descriptions of researching in the library, going through the card catalog and visiting the stacks brought a lot back to me. Thanks.
