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

Five card catalog drawers lined up and full of ivory, buff, green, blue, and salmon index cards

    I'm very happy for you, hoping you're not paralyzed by different colored cards like I would be :) (I would want to color-code the content and then never get anything done)

    @ctietze @CAE I don't color code very much in my system. I do use a small amount of coor code in my math section to differentiate definitions, theorems, proofs, and examples and a small code in my rolodex section, but otherwise, colored cards are more for the fun of having a burst of color than anything else.
