@Mamapolo2016 The card catalog was a wonder...everything by Title, by Author, then in various places by the very rich Subject index...
Between that, Books in Print, and The Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, one had very powerful tools at one's disposal, aided by research libraries, inter-library loan, and the Federal document depositories.
