Library
Physical books and trade catalogs held at 601 Delaware as part of the H and H research collection. Each item has a canonical artifact record at artifacts/HH-LIB-*.md and (for library registration) a corresponding accession at accessions/HH-BOOK-*.md.
Books that are also cited as external references retain a cross-link in their artifact record and in resources/index.md (the resources/ pointer survives as a citation handle).
External catalog. The physical library is also cataloged on Libib (the
“H and H” library) — libib.com/library, the working
shelf/circulation catalog. The HH-LIB-* / HH-BOOK-* records here remain the
canonical KB registration. (If Libib exposes a public-share URL, capture it.)
