OCLC prints last library catalog cards

DUBLIN, Ohio, October 1, 2015—OCLC printed its last library catalog cards today, officially closing the book on what was once a familiar resource for generations of information seekers who now use computer catalogs and online search engines to access library collections around the world.

This final print run marked the end of a service that has steadily decreased over the past few decades as libraries have moved their catalogs online.

"Today, libraries are taking their collections to their users electronically, wherever they may be. Collections are searchable online, and through popular search engines.
