Re: "Ending Catalog Chaos"

Sandra and the Group,

I like the idea of filing the catalogs alphabetically -- that's what I
did at middle school.  To keep some sort of chronological order, I
usually had the new catalogs (dated with date received) slipped into the
file on the left so I knew that the farther right in each section that I
looked, the catalogs were older.  This filing system was in a metal cabinet
that had vertical dividers about every 2 or 3 inches.  When they became too
full to add more, I simply pulled from the "end" (or right side) and tossed
those.  The cabinet was there when I took the job, so I don't know where
it was purchased.

However, I am looking for a way to file catalogs according to content.
Someone mentioned a computer filing system so they could be cross
referenced.  I may try that in combination with the alphabeticall filing.
