HOW IT ALL STARTS For its database to find something, you need to tag all your b
ooks, articles, etc.. We call this sort. You will rank as follows: ï First you wil
l put your books on the shelves according to your taste and similarities of the
issues. Normally we like to put the books that discuss the same issues in one pl
ace. That's got to be done in your library. ï Determine the major subjects of thei
r library. Determine all matters covered by your library. For example, suppose t
hat your library has these main subjects: theology (everything related to the ch
urch, doctrines, etc..) Administration (whatever you deem useful for their tasks
of administrator), Computer (all you has on software, hardware, etc..) History
(all his stuff about the civilizations). The other issues that your library owns
and has determined that you are not the most important, you leave them in a sin
gle category. See our example: ABCDEFGH CATEGORY to Z, if necessary in future AF
FAIRS History Theology Administrative Computing Other ... Other ... General Affa
irs Other issues ...
ï Create divisions of their main subjects (1-999) Follow the example given: Theolo
gy is the main subject, the letter A.
Let's divide this subject A.1 The Holy Scriptures A.2 A.3 The Trinity God the Fa
ther And so on. This is just one example, you're going to create their classific
ation in accordance with your taste. ï Create another room to individualize as muc
h as possible its classified material. (1-9999) Back to our example: Theology is
the main subject, the letter A. A.2 - The Trinity A.2.1 - The book "The Trinity
- How to understand the mysteries of God's person in the Bible and the history
of Christianity" by Whidden, W.; MOON, J., REEVE, JWA2.2 - Next book that deals
mostly the subject of the Trinity. And so on for all your books, handouts, artic
les, etc. file. As for creating the codes for each book, write code to 2B pencil
on the cover of the book ï Tag your material with the codes you create. Purchase
a roll of tape magic of at least 2 cm wide (never use tape Durex). Print out a s
heet with the codes and labels with the help of magic tape, paste them on the bo
ttom of the back of the book. Will like the books you see in libraries. In the c
ase of his private library, this code should be unique to avoid problems, the RG
will be your book. ï Prepare the folders of your file folders or file should be t
reated like the books. For example: The subject Theology is the letter A.
A.2 is the subject of the Trinity. A.2.1 to A.2.9, for example, are books, then
leave a space and get on with your documents in folders of your file. A.2.30 - A
rticle "The changes of Adventism" by KNIGHT, GEORGE Ministry magazine Jan. / Feb
. 1994, p. 15-22. A.2.31 to A.2.9999 - Continue to encode their articles on the
Trinity. As the labels with the codes that were glued to the tape on the backs o
f magic books in case of items, the codes can be placed directly on the document
s to the pen or pencil in the upper right corner on every page of that article,
the same number. (Always remember to never leave clip, staples and other metal m
aterials handling documents - they rust and damage the paper). His books and his
file being fully sorted and glued labels are ready to start feeding your databa
se. Back to Index
