Super Tuesday (Vote in the Primaries)

'The term “Super Tuesday” originated during the Campaign of 1988. In that election, a number of states opted to hold their primaries (or caucuses) on March 8. ...In more recent years, “Super Tuesday” has come to refer to the day in the primary season with the largest number of events...." {Hammond, Scott John, et al.

"Primary elections and caucuses are used by political parties to choose representatives, called “delegates,” to their respective national presidential nominating conventions. The delegates, in turn, select their party's presidential and vice-presidential candidates." {Uradnik, Kathleen. "Primaries and Caucuses." Government and Politics, edited by Kathleen Uradnik, et al., vol. 2, Greenwood, 2011, pp. 455-465. Battleground.

Where is the card catalog?

Where is the card catalog?

Librarians are getting this question less and less as time goes by.  But, there was a time when the card catalog was the gateway to finding material in libraries.  

Where did the card catalog go?  It didn't really disappear, it just morphed into a different tool. (See more about this in a 2.6.20 article Card Tricks...)

Many libraries, like the ACC Libraries, have chosen a more powerful and easier-to-use gateway to materials in the library and beyond.

Time-honored books as the one listed on the catalog card above are still found in libraries and can be found through the Search Gateway on the Library Home Page.
