npub1eknql5qk9dnkr0ggz5fdfsrl6qqq0ecr282jm567v6undp6thk2sgc2g2y (npub1ekn…2g2y) MELVYL was a computerized mainframe based digital card catalog, to my understanding one of the first (and one of the last around).

It was amazing, and it had every single book in the entire UC system in it, so you could effectively find so many details about books, order them for loan, etc. Over 30 million records.
