When card catalogs were common in libraries, they offered multiple ways to look up books. The one which most people think of is the author catalog which tracks books alphabetically by author. The other two are Title (alphabetically by title) and Subject (alphabetically by subject). The subject catalog may have multiple entries for the same book.
In brief, it is a rarity. Most libraries today use computer software to search their collections, which allows you to search in many different ways and to see if the particular publication you want is in the library, or out on loan. A card catalog is an older method of searching the library's contents. Each book or magazine had (usually) 3 cards: Author, Title, and Subject. Thus, "The Hobbit" would have an Author card for Tolkein, a Title card for Hobbit, and a Subject card for Fantasy. The card would give you a "call number" for the publication you are looking for, and you would then have to go to the shelves and try to find the book. If you didn't find it, it may be out on loan, or it may have been mis-filed, or the librarians may have withdrawn it from circulation for repair or some other purpose - you wouldn't really know. There were also problems with some people ripping the card out of a catalog, which made books harder to find.

12!/(5!*7!)The number of ways to arrange nitems is n!, where "!" is the factorial function. The number of ways we can arrange the 12 books is therefore 12!. However, we don't really care what order the first 5 books are in, or what order the last 7 books are in, as long as they're the same books. We therefore divide by the number of ways to arrange 5 books and the number of ways to arrange 7 books.
If the books have to be the correct way up and spine outwards: 7! ways =7x6x5x4x3x2x1 =5040 ways. If the books can be any way in (upside down, spine inward, etc.): (7!x4^7) ways =7x4x6x4x5x4x4x4x3x4x2x4x1x4 =82,575,360 ways
