No need to reinvent the wheel, plenty have dedicated their professional lives to developing library classifications systems, take you pick.

Example of what a topic page looks like

>>22299039
you realize there's an entire field of study devoted to this that people already did for you hundreds of years ago right? look up library classification or card catalogs

>>22299039
Powerful autism or ocd

>>22299049
anon beat me

>>22299053
I made a thread earlier asking how Paterson is. I assume you mean the WCW long poem? If so you are the man I’m looking for. How is it?

It's for a HOME library you fucking retard. OP explained this. Wouldn't be useful to use another bibliography if it doesn't have the same books as the home library. that's like using a store's inventory list to organize your own home.

9/10th of home library. Currently in storage because I’m traveling abroad.

>>22299065
Yes. Every title is listed by the spine’s text, rather than the actual cover’s title or actual title of the book, making it easier to find said book on the shelf.

>>22299067
Are you retarded?

Feel free to request any topic page you’d like to see.

I’m mainly looking for topics that would contain books in my library. Anything goes. I will post the finished topic page for good suggestions as well.

>>22299082
Clearly op is creating a HOME pathfinder, not a third party list of books.

>>22299090
Library classification systems are not a third party list of books. Have you ever even been in a library?

>>22299097
Wow you are being very obtuse and wasting my time.

>>22299097
OP here. This pathfinder would be used to navigate the books in my possession by topic. My library is organized by 30 “sections” and this pathfinder lists varying and overlapping “topics” through which you can find books across multiple sections that reference or pertain to that topic. For example, many books appear in many topics, but each book is only organized by one section.

I do not care about how libraries organize their books, because I have around 600 books and have them organized how I would prefer.

>>22299103
OP is literally rolling his own classification system regardless of what he calls it.

>>22299105
I get that, cross reference and all that is part of library classification systems. Either way, card catalog will work better than a notebook since you can easily rearrange the cards or insert in the middle, etc, The pages never fill up so you will never have to redo it all because it has become a mess.

>depending on dewey decimal system for a small personal collection
>missing the point of the topics
OP is autistic but id do this if I had the time

>>22299115
OP here. I’m going to agree with the thread and say you miss the point entirely. Also this system works perfectly for me so stuff it.

Pic not related. Neoliberalism is pretty much finished as far as my library goes.

>>22299067
are you retarded?

>>22299117
there are other classification systems then dewey including ones designed around what OP is trying to do.

Oddly my library is pretty much arranged by dewey, but not labeled or anything, it just sort of happened because I spend so much time in libraries.

>>22299049
This fucking guy

>>22299115
OP here. What do you seek to add here if I’ve already come up with my own system? Just to concern troll and reiterate there’s other ways to organize? Who cares about other ways if this clearly works perfectly and simply?

>>22299130
Christ you are dense, go look at any of those classification systems, you will get a wide list of topics for your system as well as ideas for refining your system.

>>22299133
No

>>22299133
>no don't create!
>no don't post something interactive!
>no, do it my way!
op has demonstrated this board hates original posts. This place would rather post about butters or discuss blood meridian for the thousandth time. Try ARCHAEOLOGY, op

lol. This thread.

>>22299144
Damn, I haven’t thought of that one honestly.

I have a Penguin Dictionary of Archaeology, so that could work. Will post soon.

>>22299144
No he is trying to reinvent something that already has an entire field of study and thinking that being at HOME changes anything

>>22299155
>organizing your library has a field of study
ACADEMIA EVERYONE

>>22299155
Explain why I should do it their way if I like this way?

ughhh... your handwriting is like a toddler's

>>22299144
>OP tries something fun
>faggot hall monitor derails thread
Ya this place sucks

>>22299158
I know and I hate it. I write constantly and it never improves.

Profound autism; cool nonetheless

>>22299073
Despicable consumerism.
