Delicious library 3 tags7/13/2023 Two & three years ago, I would have each boy pick one history book and one science book to read for the week, and they would know what they could pick based on the label on the spine. The history books only have the current year’s color out and the rest are boxed away (and if one weasels its way out into circulation, I can spot it and return it to its home). So all pink-labeled books are always out and always shelved together. There are four colors in the pack of labels, and so I’ve designated them thus: I used the Avery color-coding labels, and I’ve been pleased with how that has worked out. How I categorize my booksĪbout three years ago, I put a colored label on the spine of books that I purchased for our three-year history cycle. Going through all my books and entering them into my catalog has been a great time to apply some reinforcement to bindings in need of it. Remember my trick for fixing book spines with packing tape? For the church library, I used LibraryThing (online) and the Dewey Decimal System, because that’s what people are used to. What I like most about the LCC system is that it includes fiction and literature, and books written about a piece of literature are shelved next to the literature. I simplified the LCC numbers to only the two numbers following the two letters. So, for my own personal library, I used Delicious Library as my cataloguing software (Mac only) and the Library of Congress call numbers. If you use LT, a barcode scanner makes entering books go much faster (if they have modern barcodes).
