UWM Then & Now: Libraries

• Although the card catalog was “frozen” sometime in the 1980’s, it remained physically in the Library until 1999

• All public services were either in person or by phone. Now have chat, widgets, 24/7 federated service, etc.

• No online journals, and our print journal count was approx. 12,000. We now have access to over 48,000 full text sources.

• Public databases (citation only - no full text) were on over 50 CD-ROM drives on local network. Now have net access to approx. 300 commercial databases and millions of full text articles.

• Earliest campus/library web pages, but no web databases. Some people still liked Gopher! Some early web forms, no concept of chat, etc.

UWM Then & Now: Libraries

• About 40 'library' computers w/ our own Windows 3 menu software, no ability to do anything but look up (no Office, etc.). No public web browsers or email at that time, though TELNET was available. Floppy disks, and occasional ZIP drives.

• Very beginnings of EReserves - really expensive scanners and early Adobe software, early use of PDFs, starting to use the web to deliver service. A glimmer of the future.

• ILL delivery was exclusively a photocopy or print volume from the stacks, sent in an envelope.

• Few in the class know how to write in cursive. • Email is just too slow, and they seldom if ever

use snail mail. • A quarter of young people under 18 have at

least one immigrant parent.• They never twisted the coiled handset wire

aimlessly around their wrists while chatting on the phone.

• DNA fingerprinting and maps of the human genome have always existed.

• Unless they found one in their grandparents’ closet, they have never seen a carousel of Kodachrome slides.

• The first home computer they probably touched was an Apple II or Mac II; they are now in a museum.
