   - at any time, the library can expand or contract with **temporary autonomous subsections** (such as Luea's specialised (and largely German-language) section of all manner of medical, medicinal and metaphysical books, and <del>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)</del>)

   * Zotero is more geared to cataloging individual references (e.g. articles in journals) rather than whole issues; one solution is to catalogue them as "books," with a note indicating what volume/issues are in the library: important articles within these periodicals can then be added as separate items
   * I'm using the following format to note the individual issues of periodicals: **''year [volume:issue] additional info''** (additional info can be season/month(s), thematic name of the issue, etc.); using the notes field like this is a bit kludgy, but at least in this format they will sort by date and issue
+  * tags might be a good way to locate items on the shelf if there is a [[http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/|controlled vocabulary]] for this purpose, e.g.:
+    * ''fl-books''
+    * ''fl-periodicals''
+    * ''fl-periodicals-singleissue''
+    * ''fl-unperiodicals''
+    * ''fl-fiction''
+    * ''fl-oversize''
+    * ''fl-ephemera''
+    * ''fl-ephemera-postcards''
