Have you ever tried looking for files on your computer or your own pictures on Flickr or your own tagged links on Delicious, and not been able to find them because you couldn’t remember how you labeled them?

I do this a lot. Did I label that document “ship list” or “passenger list” or just with a date? Did I label that link “books” or “books I want” or “birthday presents” or “wish list?” If this happens to you as it does to me, some basic tenets of library cataloging might be helpful to keep in mind.

Learn all about those basic tenets November on Shades.
