So what do I do? Like Michael I save things in folders. I have hundreds of folders but usually if I search in mail can find what I'm looking for. But again like Michael it drives me nuts when I send an email out about some topic - let's say library curriculum and then someone responds with a completely new topic. GRR! Not emailing my husband on library issues but nevertheless he is famous for responding to an email on a completely unrelated topic. Usually I don't need to save his emails (don't tell him that though).<br />I also use bookmarks to save links I want to read in the Chrome browser. I have folder there as well. <br />Then there are social bookmarking sites like diigo. Use to use a lot especially for school and library related topics. But I have it linked to my twitter account so my tweets are saved. Since my kidney surgery 2 yrs ago many if not most of my tweets are now more related to urology topics so would need to go in and really clean it up. For the school, library topics it was very effective because of the tagging features. <br />And finally sometimes I do just have to use my memory; wanted to reference a talk and thought I'd bookmarked it. I hadn't. Knew it was in email tried searching by topic no go. But remembered who it was emailed from and did a search for that sender. Then I was able to search through just the emails from that one entity. Found the talk I wanted. <br />And finally, if I can't remember and can't find it (actually happening right now) I reach out to a friend or someone I think may have info. In this case it was in a tweet. Reached out to the person who I thought had tweeted out the information. He doesn't remember but now have him looking for said info!

Folder descriptions are shared. Folder colours are not shared.<br /><br />Spell out the full term in folder descriptions and also suggest abbreviations.<br /><br />→ Sundry notes<br />The GTD — Getting Things Done — system has many useful ideas for workflow. <br />#HashTags do not work in some products. Just like #HashTags, use an obscure combination (#+TagTerm) to force a private search or sort: <br />1) name every instruction 'JobCard' instead of 'job card' then all tasks can be easily displayed; <br />2) name cardinals 1North 2East 3South 4West to force a natural sort order.<br /><br />Change folder, label, and keywords through time as appropriate: planning, current, concluded.<br /><br />Nearly every topic should have a References folder, and it is good to set up an Archive folder too.<br /><br />Different apps have different methods for archive or the bin. A more universal archive method is to rename the folder with an initial 'zzz'. It contains drafts, backups, and duplicates. I clear the zzz folder a year after the project has concluded. [‘z’ forces this folder to the bottom of the stack]<br /><br />Folder and file names around 30 characters max. Avoid long folder and file names. — <br />- List names in Drive on the web are right truncated at 32 characters; but are mid truncated on iPad 15...15; phone 8...8; so use important leading and trailing terms<br />- Tile names in Drive are right truncated at 15; but are mid truncated on iPad 5...5; phone 4...4; so use important leading and trailing terms<br /><br />Folder '2016' is in folder hierarchy 'Audit » South » 2016; it has detail description'. In early 2018 it is renamed 'zzz Audit South 2016' and moved to folder 'zzz'. This is repeated in Drive, Gmail, Bookmarks, whatever. It will still show in a search and can be discovered by indexing. It can be excluded from search with '-zzz'.<br /><br />Consider the intended use e.g. “Training Material”, “Sales Enablement”, “Handover Pack”<br />status e.g. “Approved”, “Quarantine”, “Obsolete”, “Archive”<br /><br />No abbrevs … use “Terms and Conditions”. Do not use “Terms & Conditions”, “Ts and Cs”, “Ts&Cs”<br /><br />Be instructive to those who follow — #WatchThis (for videos and movies), #HearThis (for songs and music), #ReadThis (for articles and books), #ReadMe (for instructions)Michael Michelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044944433482576821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-22730629691780042812018-03-18T20:59:51.362-07:002018-03-18T20:59:51.362-07:00► Create a library rapid link system.

_We are in control of our folders ...► FIND MY STUFF<br />_We are in control of our folders and labels; but we are not in control of names and content of emails, documents, pictures, events, or whatever sent to us. The solution to search will always start with having a single good folder naming system. But the task is complicated by sharing of folders, files, photos, and the like with family, teams, and other collaborators._<br />The task is to *Create an agreed keyword folder naming system and apply it to all apps.* <br />The solution is to have an agreed function based hierarchy:<br />… [Function][Region][Topics][Years]<br />Apply the system to every tool — Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Keep, etc.<br />Place every item in appropriate folders, or attach appropriate labels.<br />Recover items by tracing folders, or searching keywords.<br />Learn how to use GSuite’s CloudSearch, and also each product’s search and folders system.<br />► Sample:<br />An email arrives from a collaborator with a range of attachments — reports, photos, maps, etc. I need to share with my staff. But my collaborator has used terms like: <br />… ‘Spread of Nassella trichotoma resistant to flupropanate herbicide in the southern tablelands over past two years’<br />In our organisation, we would prefer: <br />… ‘Surveillance of Group J resistance of serrated tussock in South East NSW 2016 and 2017.’<br /> I apply gmail labels, drive folders and descriptions, photo albums that meet our corporate filing needs:<br />… Surveillance; South East; serrated tussock; Group J; 2016, 2017. <br />This is consistent with the general form:<br />… [Function][Region][Topics][Years]<br /><br />► Leading conventions:<br />Folder names should be meaningful to anyone, but should aid search and indexing ... they should help 'find my stuff' ... the only reason to name something is to find it again.<br />Name initial folders with intended use or purpose, then subfolders with more specific project names, region/town/client, project stage, roles, or whatever. Typically avoid lists longer than about seven folders, and also try not to go deeper than three or four levels; but it should always be meaningful.<br />If the organisation, or a project manager, uses some standard terms, then support their leadership and use their folder names. But add more search system terms to detail descriptions of folders if necessary.<br />For each major project, create its own folder in Drive and Gmail, its own calendar, its own contact group, its own bookmarks folder. Each project is allocated the same colour for each application, if reasonably possible.<br />Create a document, email, calendar event, Keep note, then always place it in the folder. As some things could be catalogued in several places, then add to alternative folders (or add alternative keyword and folder names in the description to aid search).<br />Documents, emails, photos, events, and other things will be sent in by people who do not know or follow the naming conventions. We cannot get to rename emails or every document. So, all things get put into named folders; named folders are the key.<br />Learn to use '/' search for folders if you have many projects; or track down your documents and stuff by the folder hierarchy.<br />For general working, use folders only 2 to 3 levels deep. Create temporary level 4 folders only for drafts, staging posts, copies. Archive the folder as soon as finished.<br />Avoid clutter in searches by archiving closed files.<br />→ References<br />SearchResearch March 2016 Are we making personal search WORSE? <br />SearchResearch March 2018 How to find dimly remembered things? <br />Simpletivity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAAuxHSl6ak [ridiculous] <br />https://www.dataone.org/best-practices/choose-and-use-standard-terminology-enable-discovery Michael Michelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044944433482576821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-52452547386483268192018-03-17T17:30:32.983-07:002018-03-17T17:30:32.983-07:00Iona Opie obit

(Trying without "music" buried me in ads for color keyboards.) The looked for Scriabin concerts.<br />2. Controversial, according to Wikipedia. Earliest known version had "naughty boys". Added "Opie" to search for "four and twenty blackbirds", since I figured the Opies wrote about this. This just took me to Wikipedia, where I could have gone without Opie.<br />3. This drives me nuts. I don't have any real tools, and don't even use Spotlight to search contents of things (I'm not sure why not; maybe because of too many returns.) I try to make use of date information, but my memory is so bad that this hurts as often as it helps. I also use email when, as is often the case, I've sent or received something to somebody connected with what I'm looking for. In the end I'm usually successful, because I'm fairly good about grouping things in folders, but the process is quite inefficient.clayton lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073070956472369250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-91201600871233372492018-03-16T09:53:16.044-07:002018-03-16T09:53:16.044-07:00a question about collections… and blackbirds in an...a question about collections… and blackbirds in an encyclopedia<br /><a href="http://awfullibrarybooks.net/" rel="nofollow">weeding</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/awfullibrarybooks/" rel="nofollow">more covers</a><br /><a href="https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/libraries/article/75631-ala-midwinter-2018-spotlight-the-top-10-library-stories-of-2017.html" rel="nofollow">library news</a><br /><a href="http://iworkatapubliclibrary.com/" rel="nofollow">from the inside</a><br /><a href="https://www.etymonline.com/" rel="nofollow">an online type of dictionary</a><br /><a href="https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=blackbird" rel="nofollow"> ouzel or merle </a><br /><a href="http://latinlexicon.org/definition.php?p1=2035792" rel="nofollow">latin</a><br /><a href="https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/all-creatures-great-and-small_rhinos--blackbirds-and--seamonks/42043462" rel="nofollow">Gessner's blackbird</a><br /><a href="http://www.media.uzh.ch/en/Press-Releases/2016/gessner-ausstellung-zoologisches-museum.html" rel="nofollow">'in the 16th century, Conrad Gessner set about the remarkable task of cataloging all animals of the then-known continents.'</a>remmijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985809654574916217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-82482119540601844582018-03-15T15:04:55.485-07:002018-03-15T15:04:55.485-07:00pie escape… with 7 accomplices

That was, and is, its name. When you see a picture of the Common Blackbird you might think you are seeing an American Robin that has been spray painted black. Our robin is in the Genus, Turdus. The Common Blackbird is also in the Genus, Turdus. Both are in the thrush family, Turdidae, which also includes such North American songsters as the Hermit Thrush, Wood Thrush, and Veery of our woodlands, and the Eastern Bluebird.<br /><br />Here is the description of the Common Blackbird’s song in Birds of Europe: “Song well known for its melodic, mellow tone, a clear and loud fluting (almost in major key) at slow tempo and on wide, often sliding scale, with soft twitter appended; verses rather short ...”<br /><br />So, the European blackbird could sing; but could it sing "Naughty Boys" as the older versions had it?jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-3976340268997861922018-03-15T10:39:13.487-07:002018-03-15T10:39:13.487-07:003) Brute force :)3) Brute force :)jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-40988142862384261642018-03-15T10:38:17.395-07:002018-03-15T10:38:17.395-07:0020 Blackbirds

This extravaganza of hospitality was related by an Italian cook of the era.[10] “Live birds were slipped into a baked pie shell through a hole cut in its bottom.” The unwary guest would release the flapping birds once the upper crust was cut into<br /><br />However, have you eve rheard a blackbird sing? Not pretty. So what else? <br /><br />Wikipedia again Sing a song of sixpence: n their 1951 The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes, Iona and Peter Opie write that the rhyme has been tied to a variety of historical events or folklorish symbols such as the queen symbolizing the moon, the king the sun, and the blackbirds the number of hours in a day; or, as the authors indicate, the blackbirds have been seen as an allusion to monks during the period of the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII,<br /><br />There is lots of conjecture about these ancient rhymes it seemsjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-84623795181864924902018-03-15T09:48:43.200-07:002018-03-15T09:48:43.200-07:00Debra, seems librarians need to be detectives too ...Debra, seems librarians need to be detectives too – interesting to search by appearance - seems iffy though given how often book designs change…<br />the older New York Public Library post appears to confirm your "trick" though – <br /><a href="https://www.nypl.org/blog/2012/06/28/finding-books-by-plot-original" rel="nofollow">'I Remember It Had a Blue Cover and...
