This is so way cool. It makes me tingly just to think about it. The New York Public Library has put together software and a book on how to create and manage your own home library. *drool*drool*drool*
Now, my books are already organized (no surprise there). Fiction is on one bookshelf, alphabetically ordered by author. I try to keep an author's works in chronological order by publication date, but that doesn't always happen. Then there are the other bookshelves of non-fiction and literary anthologies and poetry. While the organizational scheme doesn't follow Dewey or LCC, it is arranged by subject. You can find all ancient Greek texts together, all poetry together, all travel together, all IA and UX books together, and so on.
Now, what really gets me jazzed is the database software. I know how to do the cataloging. I wonder if it has an XML/HTML port to the web? I've often thought about getting my home library (of books, CDs, and DVDs) up on the web. Yes, I know no one else in the world would care.
This really makes me want to dig out a copy of AACR2 and get cracking. God, I'm SUCH a geek.
