Question Best Practices: Libraries Or Folders to best organize books...

Greetings all,
I have been using Calibre for a year and I LOVE IT!

However, I have a few questions about 'Your Best Practices'. I have used Calibre with several different ideas in mind.

1. "One library to rule/hold them all"

* I stored ~1k books/articles in ONE Library. I found this tedious. Bc Calibre would to a huge number to wade through. My solution was to place tags (proper and correct, a challenge) on every item. Pain...

2. Segregate all books/articles into n or (n+1) libraries.

* The problem here was when I had a book that could be in several libraries. I had to remember the correct library to search in to find my book(s). Or When I wanted to add a book to a library I could not search all libraries simultaneously.

Q. How do you approach this?

Q. Is it possible to place Libraries into Libraries?

Q. Will Virtual Libraries help in these situations?
