This makes sense to me, thank you for the information.  I am starting Grad School in the Fall and trying to learn more about the advanced features of the Stream so I can get the most out of it for school.  

Thanks, 
Allie

My Stream is formatted in the standard way and I have read that it is possible to create subfolders within the Bookshelf categories but have had a hard time finding any more specific information online.  Do the subfolders need to be labeled in a particular way to be recognized by the Stream?  For example, if I wanted to create a subfolder for Textbooks in my $VRDTB folder could I simply create a new folder and label it Textbooks?
