Kardex cabinets
New procedures and increased use of on-line technology have
removed the need for "Kardex" cabinets and cards to check in the
scores of of periodical issues received in the Morris Library.
Therefore, eight Kardex cabinets, each measuring 13" high by 24''
deep by 8" wide, are available for disposition to other campus units.
If you are interested in obtaining one or more Kardex cabinets
for University use, send, by Sept. 30, a request on unit letterhead to
the Office of the Director of Libraries, expressing interest and the
number of cabinets desired.
Within each Kardex cabinet there are 10 drawers for cards which
are 4" by 6". A sample card can be sent upon request. Costs of
transporting the cabinets to their new homes must be borne by the
receiving unit, and cards are available for disposition.
