Card system

Japanese: カード・システム(英語表記)card system
Card system
A system for organizing books and information using cards. Unlike notebooks, it has the advantage of being free to rearrange and add to certain themes, and has developed into a literature search technique. The first card catalog was made overseas in 1820 at the London Telegraph and Technical Library, and as recently as 1898 the Library of Congress in the United States decided on 3 inch x 5 inch (7.5 cm x 12.5 cm) cards as the standard catalog card. The card system was introduced to Japan around 1890 (Meiji 23). Since then, card-based organization and learning methods have gradually developed both domestically and internationally, but in Japan, standardized B6 size cards were used in a joint research project at Kyoto University's Institute for Research in Humanities in the 1950s, and the results were introduced to the public by Umesao Tadao, after which it quickly became popular.

Japanese:
カードを用いた図書・情報などの整理システム。ノートとちがって,一定主題による組替え,追加が自由という利点があり,文献検索技術として発達してきた。外国では1820年,ロンドン電信技術図書館で最初のカード目録が作られ,くだって1898年アメリカ議会図書館では3インチ×5インチ(7.5cm×12.5cm)のカードを標準目録カードに決定した。日本にもカード方式は1890年(明治23)ごろに紹介されている。その後,内外ともにカードによる整理や学習方式は徐々に発達してきたが,日本では1950年代に京都大学の人文科学研究所における共同研究に,B6判の統一規格のカードが用いられて,その成果が梅棹忠夫により一般に紹介されていらい急速に普及した。
