Emily,
Catalogs would help here, I believe. They give you the ability to
break down your images by subject type (work, personal, abstract,
etc), even by shoot if you prefer, or by hard drive.
www.lightroomkillertips.com is a great resource for Lightroom info.

So what have they done to make it faster? On my machine it's
unbelievably slow, especially since one needs to take advantage of
the database features and that means loading 4500 10-25M files every
time one starts Lightroom up. I suppose if one could never ever
shut the computer down that might not be such a burden, but imagine
if you have a complete portfolio of 45,000 images.
I'd probably quite like Lightroom if I could keep my entire
portfolio in it for searching by keyword.
Even then. however, scrolling through all those thumbnails while
updating keywords in old files is just too inefficient.
