hm... how *can* we structure it? what options are there? the web interface isn't very helpful. Can we split the group library into folders? can an item be in multiple folders at once? Can we just use the tags people assign to their entries?

With the Firefox addon, you can create folders and sub-folders. The good thing is that items can exist in multiple folders, just like categories in Wikipedia. So let me throw out this extended view of the Wikipedia literature - parentheses are subcategories. Note: this is completely biased - make suggestions!)



Quantitative Methods (Network Analysis, Log Analysis, Surveys, NLP)

Qualitative Methods (Ethnographic, Interviews, Archival)

WikiTopics (Article Coverage, Article Quality, Decentralization, Vandalism, Administration, Users, Editing Patterns, OSS/Free Licensing, non-English Wikipedias, Wikimedia, Wikipedia and the World (Science, The Public/Sphere, News, Academia))

[maybe wrap the following into the category "Academic Disciplines]:

Social Science (Social Roles, Authority/Leadership, Policies/Governance, Reputation, Trust, Consensus/Negotiation, Culture, Theoretical Traditions (Benkler, Habermas, Ostrom))

Info/Computer Science (Ontologies, Semantic, Visualizations, Bots/Scripts/Tools, Measuring Quality/Value)

Philosophy (Epistemology, Political, Technological)

I like Stuart's thinking. I might opt for a structure that's a little more focuses on what the goal of a paper is rather than the discipline that did it, but I'm not sure off-hand what that would look like.

Hi, I'm new to this group. I'd like to add some more research articles on Wikipedia, but agree that the library needs to be structured. Would anyone object if I create folders and subfolders as suggested by Stuart, and place my new items into them? I don't want to tread on anybody's toes...
