Creating the personal digital library in our personal computer
Creating a hierarchical structure of folders and sub folders
- We can create in the operating system folder, and name it as we want. Each folder can be a 'space' where we can store 'files' of a particular kind
- We can also create a sub folder within each folder, in case we want to have sub categories of folders in which we want to store files
Creating symbolic links to folders
Naming system for folders
- Each folder can be meaningfully named to indicate what kind of information is in the files within the folder. For example a folder name like 'Triangles' is better than a name like 'tri' or tngl' etc. Use full names, with spaces if you are using many words so that it reads like a proper phrase. e.g a folder name like 'Social Reform movement in Karnataka' is better than 'social reform'
- Sometimes, providing a number before the folder name is useful, if this folder is among many sub folders of the same kind within a folder. For e.g. if a folder 'Freedom fighters of India' has one folder for many freedom fighters, putting a number before can help in sorting the sub folders (by 'name') so that it is useful. e.g 1.Dadabhai Navorji can be one folder and 2.Lokmanya Tilak and 3. Mahatma Gandhi can be three folders. We can sort the sub folders in the 'Freedom fighters of India' folder, such that the three will come in the order 1,2 and 3. Such ordering can help in easy accessing and undersgtanding
Naming system for files
- Each file can be meaningfully named to indicate what kind of information is stored in the file. For example a file name like 'Brief history of Quit India Movement' is better than a name like 'doc1' or 'qim' etc. Use full names, with spaces if you are using many words so that it reads like a proper phrase.
- Sometimes, providing a number before the file name is useful, if this file is among many files of the same kind within a folder.
