This initial sort of the library books is being done so we can easily find duplicate items and remove unwanted duplicates. It will also give us an initial idea about what types of books we have in stock. Once this is done, we might look at the miscellaneous section and tweak this sort.
Once all the current books are sorted this far, we can find and remove unwanted duplicates and ask experts to thin down the selection of certain types of books. Then we can catalog the books in the software, label, and re-organize as necessary.
