More really fascinating stuff about the DD and LOC, that you gave. My mother was an elementary school librarian for many years, has a Master's degree in library science, etc. I've always liked libraries and I think that the whole business of cataloging books is cool. But I would never consider cataloging my cookbooks, of which I do have a very large number (mostly, at this point, in the dead-tree format). Nor would I ever consider cataloging my enormous library of other paper-format books. Probably for the same reason that you no longer have your cookbooks cataloged by DD. ha
Getting back more to what we're mainly supposed to be talking about on this website--ebooks--I do want, badly, to find some way to catalog the ones that I've got. It is a different matter being able to organize books on a physical shelf by subject, and being able to find what you want that way, but it is a whole different ballgame organizing ebooks, which can't be put on a (physical, at least) shelf.

Sent you a message. If you want start a thread and copy my organization ideas.
I have loved libraries since I was 3.
