She uses an old OCLC-cataloging terminal, which was one of the first library computers in the Manatee County Public Library System.

With this terminal she could order the correct library catalog cards to be shipped for the new books they were processing. The printer, partially seen on her left, was for printing labels to paste on the books spines and pockets.
