Tags vs Dewey Decimal vs Library of Congress Classification
I've got a decent sized library (2000+ books) and I used to have them stored in a complex directory hierarchy according to dewey decimal. (Don't worry, I'm not going to ask if I can get Calibre to use that hierarchy internally!)
Now I am going through my books and tagging them. I've started to use more and more heirarchical tags, but I've been making them up as I go. Then it hit me...why not use the DD or LCC system as my tagging system. Or maybe in addition to my personal tags. Is this a reasonable thing to do? Have others done this? Does anyone have a file with the set of tags already created that I can import? Thanks for any guidance in this area. |

What ever makes you happy. Since Dewey is a single value, you might want to make a custom column , making it easier to use without having to pry it out of a tag |
