My library does some digitizing projects with local newspapers that don't normally get scanned. And there's always digital versions of the major newspapers they have on paper, but once they've been around a while, they get recycled. I think it's just a storage thing. I can't think of where we'd keep them in my library, and I'm in a big library too. I'm going to have to ask someone about this. I'm curious now. I want to know where everything goes in my library.
As for card catalogs. I'm not sure why anyone would want those anymore since you can search on computer or phone whereever you are. Don't get me wrong, I'm nostalgic as heck about those things too. I get the warm a fuzzies whenever I see an old card catalog cabinet, but it's like punch cards for computers; no one's going back to those except in this video game I played recently. And now I mention it, I wonder if I've see a card catalog in a game. I'm going to keep my eyes out for that.
