But I found myself spending far too much time searching for the perfect subject word/s. This is why you will never find me working as a cataloging librarian. I'd never feel completely satisfised and would always be worried that there is a better choice than the one I landed on.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-5776479482390138052011-03-21T12:50:15.422-10:002011-03-21T12:50:15.422-10:00Thank you, Barbara.

The complicated part is consistent taxonomy so that every time a certain topic occurs you call it the same thing. You'd think this would be easy but it's not. I imagine somehow it was simpler in Locke's time when applied to reading because you can use broad terms like "truth" or "beauty." But philosophy, reading and life have become a bit more complicated since Locke and creating a taxonomy on the fly is a pain in the backside.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
