One of the problems with much of the modernizing drive of going all-digital is that there is no failsafe. No workable fallback. Usually skipped for "efficiency" (meaning some Excel spreadsheet was used to manipulate the numbers and a pivot table added to a slide deck in a presentation to the board resulted in earning that quarterly bonus for someone).
We're seeing more and more problems arise because of the lack of a failover plan. All it would take is a small printer to generate a new car from the digital system whenever a new item is added to a library's collection, and for someone to file the card just like they do the book (or do they still have physical books in libraries? ).
