How to Organize Books by Subject

Hi! I'm Jennifer Kimball and one behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to organize and maintain your book collection. If your collection of books has lots of different subject areas. Maybe you have a larger collection of non-fiction than fiction, then one way, which might make sense to organize your books is by subject manner. Within subject manner, you can also alphabetize. By dividing our books up by this type of genre, it's probably going to be easier to find what you're looking for. For instance, say you were a math major in college and you have all of your math books still because they're relevant. You're going to have those separate from say some of your fiction or if you have some art books. This way you're keeping different types of books separate from one another so they they're easier to find. This also works well if you have a larger subject and then you have sub-genres within that subject. If you have a bunch of history books, but then you have divided by either war or by a different country. There are various different ways that you can divide things up by subject manner, which is going to make the most sense to you.
