Today, despite the advent of ICT and its application in most fields of human endeavors, manual system of information management still persist side by side with ICT. In libraries too, the story has not changed. It is against this background that concerted efforts are being made to ensure that computers are used in typing and printing of catalog cards as against the practice of using a typist and a typewriter or an electric typewriter in producing catalog cards by these authors. Moreover this attempt is aimed at making the work of the librarian and or information officer easier and cost effective. It is above all, limited to the production and printing of catalog cards of documents. It will be of immense benefit to all types of libraries using card catalog especially their catalogers who are in charge of cataloging and producing the card catalog.

今天，尽管信息通信技术的出现及其在人类大部分领域的应用，手工信息管理系统仍然与信息通信技术并存。在图书馆，这种情况也没有改变。正是在这样的背景下，人们正在共同努力，以确保计算机被用于打字和印刷目录卡，而不是使用打字员和打字机或电动打字机来制作目录卡。此外，这种尝试的目的是使图书馆员和信息官员的工作更容易，并具有成本效益。最重要的是，它只限于制作和打印文件的目录卡。它对所有使用卡片式目录的图书馆，特别是负责编目和制作卡片式目录的编目员，都会有很大的好处。
