Yes, they DID still have a few of the SuperBee terminals there. Funny, I
had forgotten all about them! Thank you for mentioning your experience
there. One of the things I will always remember was my first day when I was
told “how incredibly lucky I was” because I had a brand new IBM Selectric
electronic typewriter to work with! That blew my mind because I thought I’d
have my own PC! I didn’t get my own PC on my desktop until three or four
years later (1996).

Did they still have the SuperBee computer terminals there to connect to the LDMS? I worked in the Law Library for a couple of years, and we were still typing cards for serials because they were not yet cataloged online. I wasn't a great typist when I started but I was much better when I left. Also, the electric typewriter was for typing cards & other important things. As a cataloger, I had a desk and manual typewriter that were probably older than I was. I was at the GLS from 1982-1984.
