… or on your
fingers like I still do today. I can always use the modular add-on: my toes,
when calculations get really difficult !

I
remember when there were No Computers at all – using the big Index Medicus
volumes. And why did geek Dad not mention Saturday morning kids’ cinema? My
husband and his mates used to all throw their caps in the air at the end,
and then, of course, they couldn’t find them…….

My
first interview for the post of Trainee Librarian was a group interview
(horror of horrors). There was one interviewee who kept mentioning Jewey and
how familiar she was with it. I had no idea what she was talking about.
However, I got the job & she didn’t… I must be a pretty good
bluffer!

On
a slightly different note - having started a 'library' in my Health
Authority from scratch, I remember my first cataloguing lecture at Uni,
when the rhetorical question was asked "Of course, you all know
Mark."
I'm
sure I was the only one looking wildly round for the eponymous
individual..... :-)

Yes I remember photo
charging and still wince when I think of my first day as a Saturday 6th
form assistant and wonder how many photos I took of my hand or a blank
sheet instead of the correct information. Fortunately I was too
lowly to do the overdues!

Nostalgia
is not what is used to be. These guys are too young.
Who
else remembers the horrors of doing overdues from the photo charging
system, optical coincidence indexing, and, oh yes, when there might one
day be a need for a computer in one library in each region for Medlars
searching? This was in the days when it was possible for a Very
Distinguished Librarian indeed to tell me that, apart from juniors
studying for exams, there was no need for Medical Libraries in general
hospitals – all the real medicine was practised in teaching hospitals,
mostly in London, of course. Perhaps all those evolutionary false
starts had their uses, after all.

Hi
All
Well it’s
Friday today, another week gone, another week older.
I must be
getting on as I feel pangs of nostalgia when I look at the
