Me and Indexcard
2006.08.20 12:54 | Discovery
Nearly 5 years ago, I read Watanabe Shoichi's
"知的生活の方法 (Chiteki seikatsu no houhou = A way
to intellectual life)". His episode was very first time I realize what is card
system, and it is used in academic world for long time. But I had
never met someone who use indexcard seriously around me at that
time. It is a story of another world for me.
A first encounter with indexcard in realty was when I was in graduate school. A professor left a box of indexcards in his office when he move to other university. The professor uses indexcard to manage papers he read like librarian do. Perhaps the indexcards were written when he was young, because they were written by typewriter. It was exactly 5x3 indexcard.
When I move to university at Tokyo as researcher, I saw a "real" indexcard is sold in co-op. In Tokyo, and in university, it is relatively easier to find indexcard than country side where I had stayed days of graduate school.
