Cataloging a small collection: I’ve written about Library Thing before and now there is one that seems even more fun, Delicious Library. What sort of people catalog their home collections and how large does your office collection need to be before finding it useful to catalog it? Do true bibliophiles want organization or disorder? Would I really exchange the joy of finding a “lost” book for the satisfaction of seeing them all arranged and tidy in my catalog? And how do you catalog – author alpha, title alpha, subject, size, color? I like the way Roget organized the knowledge of the world and West did it with law, but there are a zillion other ways of classifying information. Ask any library science student 🙂
