Thanks again for your feedback, especially BetteRed and Speakingtohe. You've given me a couple of suggestions worth trying. I guess I'm just difficult to please. When I totaled all my books and magazine issues in all my libraries, it is actually a little past 9000 which in total takes up just over 60gigs of harddrive space, currently only 20 gig is actually on my internal hd, as the other libraries which I don't use as often, are stored on an external hd and accessed by simply switching libraries when it is plugged into my usb port. Having one huge library means I have to commit to either my internal or external hd, which I had hoped to avoid. I had also hoped to avoid the time consuming and tedious task of having to go through and type in a tag for every new entry right off the bat with a genre, rather than just dumping them into the appropriate library, and deaing with more specific tag(s) later. My scientific publications and magazine articles already have tags for article topics and authors. Anyway, I can see my options are limited, but I really appreciate some of the suggestions, especially about creating a windows library or a 'temporary library' until I can get the time to give new books an appropriate genre for a virtual library, and/or other more detailed tags. I'll let you know how it turns out. Mahalo & Aloha
