File StructureOrganising your digital collections into a logical folder structure will help you access your files more easily and quickly, avoid duplication, and provide context and meaning for current and future uses. |
When creating a folder structure to organise your digital content, consider the following:
-
Group files focused on a similar topic together in folders and sub folders.
-
Structure your folders hierarchically. Create first level folders for the broader topics, then create more specific folders within them.
-
Use the naming convention you decided on in level 1 to name your folders in the same style as your files.
An example file structure is given below.
