I was in my teens during the "search engine wars," and I distinctly remember my elementary school librarian showing off the brand new computerized card catalog when I was in kindergarten. Ran on a Mac. They gave up trying to teach us how to use a card catalog at some point in middle school; I'm not convinced they bothered putting one in the library for the newly built middle school that opened in 2000.
