Dear Alice et al,
I catalogued my books right before the Ithaca Lace Days so I would know what
I had and what I didn't. I used a chart template in my WordPerfect. Author
in 1 column, last name first, title in one column, and subject, (manual,
history, Bucks, Honiton, Christmas, etc. or nothing) That way I can sort it
by author, or by subject. I save 3 versions, the one where I just add to
the bottom, then save it, then sort by author, save that, then sort by
subject, save that. So I can print out or look at it in each way. Then
when I got home with my new purchases, I added them immediately. So I know
what I have that are duplicates, where the big gaps are in my library. I
have 9 pages, so this is a great way to keep everything straight.
Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where it's windy, but still rather warm
for this time of year, 46F, 7C. We've had some lovely autumn weather this
year.
On another subject... I've been working on Christmas ornaments, took a
class in Rosaline, am on the third square of a 36 square table cloth ( I
expect 3 years on this project), and am getting geared up to take a Cantu
class using a genuine Cantu bolster pillow. I also want to make an
inventory
of my lace books on a Tablet so I can take the list to conferences, etc.
I thought about using a basic spread sheet for the inventory. Who else has
their books inventoried, and how did you do it?
