# Mapping the Wilderness of Knowledge: The Card Catalog, Past, Present and Future

Panelists discussed the challenges of managing the "firehose of information" that is modern library collections, from using printed catalog cards to the development of MARC and BIBFRAME. The event began with an overview of the new book, "The Card Catalog: Cards, Books, and Literary Treasures," co-published by Chronicle Books in association with the Library of Congress.
