Eighty years ago, desktops were equipped with a nonelectronic data processing machine: a card file. In Paper Machines, Markus Krajewski traces the evolution of this proto-computer of rearrangeable parts (file cards) that became ubiquitous in offices between the world wars. The story begins with Konrad Gessner, a sixteenth-century Swiss polymath who described a new method of processing data: to cut up a sheet of handwritten notes into slips of paper, with one fact or topic per slip, and arrange as desired. In the late eighteenth century, the card catalog became the librarian's answer to the threat of information overload. Then, at the turn of the twentieth century, business adopted the technology of the card catalog as a bookkeeping tool. Krajewski explores this conceptual development and casts the card file as a "universal paper machine" that accomplishes the basic operations of Turing's universal discrete machine: storing, processing, and transferring data. In telling his story, Krajewski takes the reader on a number of illuminating detours, telling us, for example, that the card catalog and the numbered street address emerged at the same time in the same city (Vienna), and that Harvard University's home-grown cataloging system grew out of a librarian's laziness; and that Melvil Dewey (originator of the Dewey Decimal System) helped bring about the technology transfer of card files to business."--Publisher's website. 001404232 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001404232 650_0 $$aCatalog cards$$xHistory. 001404232 650_0 $$aCard catalogs$$xHistory. 001404232 650_0 $$aInformation organization$$xHistory. 001404232 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/General 001404232 653__ $$aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/History of Technology 001404232 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Library Science 001404232 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001404232 7001_ $$aKrapp, Peter,$$etranslator. 001404232 852__ $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001404232 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3339342$$zOnline Access 001404232 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001404232 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:458427$$pGLOBAL_SET 001404232 980__ $$aBIB 001404232 980__ $$aEBOOK 001404232 982__ $$aEbook 001404232 983__ $$aOnline
