Filing without cabinets?
mcnicks | Apr 16 2006
Now that I have sorted out my filing and contexts at work, I am planning to do the same thing at home. My only problem is that I do not really have space for a filing cabinet. What I do have is a set of shelves, so I was pondering whether I could file stuff into a) box folders or b) transfer cases. Has anybody implemented a filing system without using a filing cabinet before? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thx, 8 Comments

Open shelf filing is used...Submitted by ggrozier on April 16, 2006 - 9:22am.
Open shelf filing is used in lots of offices--doctors, for example. It's more efficient--takes up less space for the volume of files, and you can go right to the files you want. You can get end-tab folders and label them. There are cabinets that are designed especially for end-tab filing, but I have mine in a closet that I can close and keep things out of signt. Or try the Smead Workspace files--they are set up for end-tab and top-tab both. » POSTED IN:
