Notes on the Enumerative Bib

As I move forward into collecting sources for my Enumerative Bibliography, it's been interesting to consider what types of terms I should classify these various texts by without being too broad or too narrow (whereby only a couple sources fall under a particular heading).  Sure, on the surface, these headings seem like a small thing, but I'm beginning to understand that they actually have an import on the formation of my projects.  Just saying "Southern Masculinity" or "Noir Narratives" begin to organize more than the sources, but also shape our thinking and galvanize contexts for my critical applications.  Similarly, it will be useful to hone key organizing concepts in which I might pull sources as you write and apply various frameworks/lenses to the reading(s) I've in mind for my primary source.  Also, it's nice that WorldCat has immediate citations in all formats.
