Re: Number of lists

[Nancy Helmick <helmick.1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We require lists to be named according to a standardized convention:

3-letter code which identifies dept/branch
brief description of list contents
date of list creation / initials

For example:

JOU new books 030918 nh
CAT Item Status m,s,n,z or $ sld 030905

We have 240 lists, most of which are in constant use, so naming them 
correctly is critical.  Incorrectly named and undated lists are 
removed.  We are also considering removing any list that is older than a 
month and has fewer than 50 records (we'll output the record numbers in an 
email to the list owner).

I know what you mean about this. Since you *can* sort by file name in
Millennium I have taken to beginning all of my searches with my initials
which helps as any list I want to search against tends to be one I've run
in the first place. It does get messy though and we "only" have 120
lists. We had 40 until we got a new server a year and a half ago and with
9 (now 10) branches, I truly wonder how they lasted as long as they did!
