Question:
How can I organise my books?
Keep track of books
The manual way would be to use a filing card system. Assign each book a number, record the details of the book on the card and list the projects within the book. If you want to record every project then you
will need a card for each project in the book and you will need to determine how to file them – by topic, project title, artist or book title. It can get complicated. You could just write a list of the projects in the books in a particular box as an index to that box and stick it in there with them. Alternatively, check the tip under the Computers subcategory here.
