<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 3210776, member: 76440"]I do the exact same thing, largely because I couldn't bring myself to add pencil notes to my first edition Crawford!** I use Crawford series numbers and date, to which I add columns with subsequent authority contra dates. The contra authorities vary by era, as applicable. I don't bother with pre-Crawford dates, because the whole idea is to have a spreadsheet showing the current scholarship, so I can avoid having to open a dozen books when cataloguing. It's not nearly complete. I try to work a section of 10 or so series at a time when I happen to be researching any particular series.</p><p><br /></p><p>**Not criticising those who do. Many consider a standard work annotated by an expert to be of real value. I'm just not certain MY notes would add value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
