What do we do with the shelflist?

If you have taken a look at my recent Facebook photo album recently (who am I kidding, why would you?) You know that we recently closed the shelflist. At the end of the semester we will dispose of it --cards and cabinet.

So, the question is: what do we do with it? Here are some ideas:

Cards

  1. Give the faculty cards representing their own books.
  2. Give people cards for favorite books.

Cabinets

  1. Auction individual sections off as wine cabinets.

So what ideas do you have?

If you're feeling particularly inspired, you could always try card catalog art!!

I have seen card catalog drawers used creatively as planters, though that would take some work and planning on your part. Some drawers are pulled partway out, and things are planted in them! You could have an alphabetical herb garden! Subject-classified flora! It would be awesome, that's all I'm saying.
