In the 1970s the Library was a
safe haven for technophobes
IBM 709 Mainframe Computer
This model was in use at Yale in 1963,
located in the Watson building on
Sachem St, now part of SOM
IBM’s last vacuum tube computer,
produced from 1957 until 1960

Typical IBM 709 Machine Room
IBM Card Punch of the type used for data entry with the Library’s Machine Aided Technical Processing System (MATPS),
managed for many years by Suzanna Lengyel
GEAC Circulation System
The system, with 930 MB of disk
storage, was located in what is now the
CCL electronic classroom
The Canadian Geac 8000 system ran at
Yale from May 1980 until July 1991
Cartoon posted by an unknown colleague on the door of the GEAC machine room in the 1980s.
The names “Fred, Audrey, Alan” refer to Fred Martz, Audrey Novak, and Alan Hagyard, who spent many hours working in that room.
