For a home library, use the Card Catalog Generator to create consistent catalog cards for each book. Enter the book's details, choose a card style that fits your aesthetic, and print the cards. File them alphabetically by author or subject in a small card box or drawer.
Tips for home catalogs
- Decide on a filing scheme (by author, by title, by genre or by call number).
- Use the notes field to record where the book lives (e.g., shelf location or room).
- Laminate or cover frequently handled cards to prolong their life.
- Keep a master list on your computer as a backup.
