Still trying to weed in bits, found 2 more to weed recently, but there's another issue that's come up with even starting a new inventory, since my old one has a lot of stuff I haven't removed because of selling/donating/exchanging over the last 5+ years since I made it.
Obviously there are many different systems and I can't see myself even trying to use one I'm familiar enough with, like Library of Congress, let alone Dewey, which is what my local library uses for nonfiction (because it's probably what's been used and reclassifying would be a logistical nightmare).
BISAC seems interesting, stumbled onto it (and apparently had a bookmark for reference in the past) and could work, even if there's still stuff to work out potentially, it's broad enough, yet the categories I've looked over actually fits somewhat how I've grouped books as it is
The overlap is the tricky part, though not for my manga/graphic novels or D&D/tabletop stuff, thankfully (which is going to be a good chunk numerically, especially with buying some more volumes as my birthday's coming up)
And even stuff that would fit into a general Christianity category has so many subgroups in BISAC, it's enough to make anyone's head spin. And I've weeded out plenty of stuff that's fairly niche, though I could suffer to do more, potentially. It's one thing to have the Catechism and even some other stuff, but this one I found and looked over feels much more like it's meant as a devotional guide for a Catholic. Title is pretty broad too: Essentials For Christian Living.
