How You Organize Your Home Library - Mental Floss
For someone with a degree in Library Science, I'm really bad at organizing a home library. Until yesterday I only owned two bookshelves (one of them half-sized), but had perfected the art of book-stacking (and book-cramming -- placing more volumes above the regular row of books...), so each shelf holds twice its normal complement of books.

Library Classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A library classification is a system by which library materials are arranged according to subject. Library classifications use a notational system that represents the order of topics in the classification and allows items to be stored in that order. Library classification systems group related materials together, typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure.
