Stocking stuffers anyone? Santa brought 6,000 index cards down the proverbial chimney today. Should have enough now to index all the books in the house?

@chrisaldrich Will each color reflect a different means of cataloguing? I can only think of three (title, author, subject) but it’s been probably a quarter century since I actually used a card catalog…

I catalog lots of things besides books… most libraries only used one color for most of their book cataloging, iirc
