Alphabetizing Designer names

Cheryl Isaak said
As an ex librararian i would file it under T and add a index card in
the D reffering you to the T .
mirjam
There's a thought!

Mirjam's right ... you could cross-reference things in your database by
subject, author, etc. Each entry would/should include the physical location of
the chart.

So, does one file Liz Turner Diehl under T or under D?

Lizzie Kate? K? L?

Or the one that really has me fuzzled - what order does Artful
Impressions,
Art-Stitch and ArtVenture go in?

Cheryl

Laughing hard ! I file anything where I think I might be able to
remember where I would have put it lololol

I used your method when I worked and it drove my boss absolutely crazy.

Lucille

Some people just aren`t logical when it comes to filing, are they? Or,
rather, we each have our own kind of logic!!!

Oh - have you got loads of "Safe Places" too? You know - where things you
carefully put there just vanish without trace and probably end up in a pile
of junk, waiting to be thrown out?

You aren't the phone book or the dictionary, are you? File things as Jenn
said
by where you'd most likely find them when/if you wanted them.

Regardless of how you organize the charts, you might also have a little
black
hole or a colony of borrowers that will make recovery of an item pretty
difficult.

Oh I LOVE the Borrowers! I`ll have to remember them to blame. At the
moment I seem to get the blame - shouts of "Pat - what have you done with my
glasses/pen/book/shirt ........?"

The trouble with losing your glasses (which you KNOW you put safely on the
coffee table/bedside cabinet/ etc) is without them on your nose you can`t
see the darned things anyway. In any case they`re likely to turn up in the
fridge (where else would you put them?). Today it was screwdrivers!

Yeah, usually right near the items that are "hiding in plain sight" and
would bite you if they had teeth.

YES!

Absolutely--I think we all have such a place. But I don't think they get
thrown out with the trash, I think they run away and stay in a home for
wayward items. It's a compound with an area set aside for single earrings
and things like that. Of course the largest area is the home for lost
socks.

Artful
Art-Stitch
ArtVenture

We ignore spaces and punctuation when we file, it's straight
alphabetic. Might not be library accurate, but that's how the office
does it and thats what I'm used to.



Is there a proper rule for such things? I have found 3-D Auto under 3's
(odd ball local phone book), at the start of the T's and under three spelled
out. And once, as DDD Auto.

Numbers come before letters, but they should be at the beginning of
the listing, before A. However, phone books are an entirely different
beast. The phone books list the name as the business gives it to
them.

A wise business will ask for (and pay for) multiple listings.

Why does the washing machine always eat one sock - never a pair? And if you
have the engineer in at any time, how come he never finds any in the inner
working of the machine? Does it digest them completely? Mind you, our dog
just loves chewing socks - particularly unwashed ones!
