re: clustering groups

Yes that is a good idea. I have lots of groups (one for each chapter of thesis, one for each library I visit, priority level for reading, and one for each action done eg read, notes-made, scanned, photocopied) and clusters would avoid one long list of groups. I agree with Jon, it doesn't matter to m...

I had tried recording Call/Shelf number (or not held) for a number of libraries but the limit on fields made it difficult. Also I want to record other things like Priority (what should I read next?), Status (do I have a photocopy, have I made notes from it, etc). My solution is based on the unique 5...
