Spin off some of the physical card catalog content into separate article?
When Wikipedia was founded, the term ‘Card catalog’ was still synonymous with ‘Library catalog’ in many (most?) parts of the world.
Today, now that most libraries use electronic catalogs as a primary form of organization, should a separate article be started at Card catalog to cover both historical library use as well both current and historical use of card catalogs in non-library settings?
Benefits:
- This would allow further detail about physical card catalog systems (history, evolution, and, e.g., their relation to traditional Unit record systems), without cluttering this Library catalog article.
- The article at Library catalog could then have a smaller mention of physical card catalogs with that section pointing to this new article for detailed coverage.
Note: Please discuss at Talk:Card catalog § Separate article instead of redirect? to avoid duplication
