Color slides featuring library technology from the 1980s are now available at DigitalNC.org. The slides come from the Rockingham County Public Library and feature an early version of a computerized card catalog as well as microfilm and microfiche readers. The slides also feature the audiovisual equipment available for use in the library, some examples of patrons using the equipment in the Listening Room, and computer terminals available for patron use.
