This is something that has been bothering me for years, but does anybody else remember the Calgary Public Library Computer Catalogue system back from the late 80s and early 90s?

I have vivid childhood memories of the ways we had to search for books on these terminals and I have incredibly fond memories of typing on the keyboards.

I can't for the life of me figure out what they were however. All I remember was that they were green screen computer terminals and the keyboard keycaps may have been black or some dark color. I have been searching for that same typing feeling for a very long time.

Does anybody else remember or know anything about the oldschool library catalogue system from 30+ years ago? Any idea what the terminals were?
