-  * separate the more from the less "substantial" -- in practice, __books__ constitute the major substantial category
+  * separate the more from the less "substantial" -- in practice, **books** constitute the major substantial category
-  * __periodicals__ cover any more-or-less substantial publication issued periodically; but I would avoid mixing these with the ephemera
+  * **periodicals** cover any more-or-less substantial publication issued periodically; but I would avoid mixing these with the ephemera
-  * an __audiovisual__ section at some point
+  * a **conference proceedings** section that incorporates all types of items such as exhibition openings, reports, etc. that are semiperiodical: I'll probably catalogue these with the canned Zotero item type as "Conference proceedings"
-  * an __ephemera__ section, due to the vast quantity of brochures, leaflets, postcards, flyers, etc. that has accumulated; these are more transient and ephemeral than any of the preceding, but may be of value to retain in many cases
+  * an **audiovisual** section at some point
-  * at any time, the library can expand or contract with __temporary autonomous subsections__; current examples of these are:
+  * an A–Z **fiction** section (of mostly trade paperbacks, thanks to the N&M library bequest)
+  * an **ephemera** section, due to the vast quantity of brochures, leaflets, postcards, flyers, etc. that has accumulated; these are more transient and ephemeral than any of the preceding, but may be of value to retain in many cases
+  * at any time, the library can expand or contract with **temporary autonomous subsections**; current examples of these are:
     * Luea's specialised (and largely German-language) section of all manner of medical, medicinal and metaphysical books, and
     * Nik and Maja's oscillatory home/FoAM section of mainly fictional items which, one day, they will need to decide whether to amalgamate into the FoAM library proper, or reattach and merge with their own quasi-independent, temporarily autonomous library (hitherto uncatalogued)
