In this tutorial you worked with the Organize browser to add a new library to the out-of-the-box Personal repository. Both a virtual category structure as well as a physical folder structure were created to organize the contents of the library. Subsequently, this library was populated, and automatic metadata extraction and reference creation was seen, allowing for information capture with no additional effort from you.
