About meNOTE: This library started out as the smellthecoffee library. It has been copied over to its new home here, and the smellthecoffee catalog will be used for other functions.
On the one hand, I am a professional librarian in a public library system, and have both cataloguing and reference experience. On the other hand, I am a professional DJ and the proprietor of a production company, involved in production and related activities with colleagues in Brooklyn, New Orleans, Newport RI, and Atlanta.
NOTE: Having not found an LT group related to New Orleans, I have started one under my alternate LT persona smellthecoffee I have started an LT group -- the Crescent City Connection.
About my library4 collections are catalogued in the Nautilus Library:
1. the living room library,
anything on any interest that isn't in one of the following collections. The motley group of my interests that are reflected include (but are not limited to), social and historical dynamics (ethnicity, class, wealth level, spiritual orientation, gender dynamics, neurological orientation, erotic orientation, etc.) from all perspectives, but with a special emphasis on Africentric analysis ... progressive Islam, ... the Rastafari movement, ... Christian liberation theology, ... speculative fiction (esp. CJ Cherryh and Octavia Butler) ... animal psychology and behaviour and animal rights ... languages, mostly from a study overview perspective ... material about (and geared to) adults with Asperger Syndrome and Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (or whatever it is being called these days) ... any random eccentric or oddball (and occasionally twisted) thing that catches the interest of Nautilus crew members.
2. our music biz library, including any computer books that will help my improve my novice web page design skills and database skills,
3. Research resources
at this time primarily on worship and liturgical practices from a cultural perspective, and secondarily on information organization and classification theory and systems.
4. New Orleans Past, Present and Future
keeping in mind that it is the everyday people in their lives, work, blood, sweat tears, and joys have made New Orleans the unique place it is. The deliberate strategy -- by the national and some local powers-that-be -- of keeping thousands of New Orleans people from returning is, I humbly maintain, cultural genocide, period. This is said with all due respect to those who may sincerely differ in this assessment.
*********
This library reflects most of my books and DVDs and those of others of the massive. I plan to add CDs and collection of vinyl (i.e. "phonograph records", remember those?) mostly accumulated as a DJ.
Some other print formats are included, including, maps, document files (such as magazine and journal articles), and miscelaneous items. In addition, digital materials are included, i.e., PDF files and other formats.
Books are mostly in English but other languages are represented, mostly Spanish and French.
As vinyl and CDs are added the musical genres will be varied but strong in hip-hop, reggae (roots, lovers rock, dancehall), house and other dance genres, tropical latin, as well as jazz, Black gospel music (esp. the 70s and 80s), Western art music ("classical" music), and quite a bit of other miscellany.

I am in the Charlotte area! Small world.
Love your library and its diversity. I look forward to seeing what new books you pick up.

Just a quick note to let you know that my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available. Thought you might be interested since you're from NOLA. I was born and raised in New Orleans, and the novel is actually set there. Here's a summary in case you're interested:
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.
If you'd like to read the first chapter, you can read it here:

Take care,

The scheme is an in-house one, designed to primarily keep like books with like - this means that you need to decide on one place for it to go. Then follows a letter to denote size, then a number to denote decade of publication, and then a running number.
I'm very interested in classification theory. I'm currently studying for my MSc in library studies and will hope to focus on subject analysis in the modern academic library.
How are you finding LT? I have become such a geek since joining!

You might also be interested to know that I am working on my own book, called Waterline, based on an interactive photo installation of the post-Katrina flooding of New Orleans that was exhibited in New Orleans last fall and will be exhibited again, beginning Aug. 28 and through Oct. 18 at Artspace in Shreveport, LA. I need to put some info on my LibraryThing home page about that and just haven't gotten to it yet.

What really got me green with envy was the many Angican prayerbooks I don't share with you. That part of my library isn't in yet. I didn't see the new Kenyan one or the Church of North India one in your library, though, so maybe it runs both ways.
