<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our library has a shared networked drive
for staff. It includes thousands of files that we all use and
share with each other. It is, however, in need of better
organization. We often times find ourselves searching high and
low for a file that we know is on the shared drive, but we
cannot find. Or we end up finding multiple versions of the
same file in different locations.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At a staff meeting the other day we were
recognizing that we need to try to come up with a better way
of organizing staff files. Librarians should be great at
coming up with a “classification scheme” for this.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will, of course, be brainstorming and
researching this. But we thought we would ask all of you. Do
you have any ideas on good ways to organize staff files? Are
there ways that have worked well or not for you in the past?
Are there file naming conventions you have used that help? Has
this topic been covered in previous posts? Are there any
articles or websites you would recommend on this topic?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for any ideas you might have, <o:p></o:p></p>
