The slips appear in books published by Holt during the 1880s-1890s. A very progressive idea at the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Years ago, I identified a hundred or so of the books in which they appear, and I have a shelfful of them. An article was published on the slips in one of the library journals, the name of the author of which I can’t remember except that she was the wife of David Kaser (so the surname is Kaser). The article is descriptive of the phenomenon and makes the connection with CIP but doesn’t account for what gave rise to the practice or its demise. I thought of writing an article about those aspects, so I searched the finding aid to the Holt archive, and the person who did the article on the Holt archive in that huge Gale series searched the collection for me, but neither of us located any paperwork. I assume that there was a connection with ALA, so I tried to identify the ALA committee that would have been responsible by searching contemporaneous ALA publications but likewise without success.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The slips are the size to be pasted on those half-height card catalogue cards that were used before the larger size was standardized, some of which still, during the 1960s-1970s, existed in the venerable card catalogue cabinets in use at the Providence Athenaeum, but the cataloguer there reported never having seen any of the slips. I thought they might appear in other card catalogues that still contained half-height cards, so I wrote to a few libraries where I thought those cards might be in use, one of which was the Boston Athenaeum, but I received negative reports.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">That’s all I can report without getting out of my chair to look at my records (if I could find them now).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Donald Farren<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">4009 Bradley Lane<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Chevy Chase, MD 20815-5238<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><a href="mailto:dfarren@concentric.net">dfarren@concentric.net</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">voice 301.951.9479<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">fax 301.951.3898<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">mobile 301.768.8972</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> <a href="mailto:dcrm-l-bounces@lib.byu.edu">dcrm-l-bounces@lib.byu.edu</a> [<a href="mailto:dcrm-l-bounces@lib.byu.edu">mailto:dcrm-l-bounces@lib.byu.edu</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Noble, Richard<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 05, 2015 11:06 AM<br><b>To:</b> DCRM Users' Group<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [DCRM-L] CV question<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">It's CIP (quite literally, even though some 82 years <i>avant la lettre</i>), so "CIP leaf?"--a somewhat lighthearted suggestion.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">- Has anyone else seen one?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">- Could we see an image of this one?
