   * 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 individual articles within these periodicals could then be added as separate items   * 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 individual articles within these periodicals could then be added as separate items

-  * tags might be a good way to physically locate items on the shelf if there is a [[http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/|controlled vocabulary]] for this purpose, e.g.: 
- 
-  - ''fl-books'' 
-  - ''fl-cards-games'' 
-  - ''fl-fiction'' 
-  - ''fl-oversize'' 
-  - ''fl-periodicals'' 
-  - ''fl-periodicals-singleissue'' 
-  - ''fl-unperiodicals'' 
- 
-(The motivation for the ''fl-'' prefix is to ensure a set of keywords unique to this library.)
