And here begins the gesture. There is for example the article "Structural models and coding of state machines.pdf". It can be attributed to the programming / algorithms / machines, also in mathematics / machines, also in programming / simulation, etc...
And do not want duplicates. At the same time sometimes you want to find everything on the topic of "machines" for example.
That came to the conclusion that we need a program Manager on the library that would be easy to specify tags for files, search for them, and most importantly!!! to a common base, with the portable computer on the PC to store these books and tags to them.
Dream just adding books to give them the tag "unread" after reading mark as "read". Then you can tell that I've read, and what is not. Sometimes as you look into the library and immediately thought "that's e!!!, what read and what not???". 15000 Files!!! And they breed like mushrooms :)
That's the question.
Who as struggles with this? What are the program managers of libraries are you using???
UPD: particularly interested in a program that stores your database locally instead of online.
