Categories versus secondary glossaries

Categories versus secondary glossaries

Looking for advice on using the glossary module as a method of collecting some safety textbook glossaries online.

The range of entries among the 12-20 books we'll eventually put online varies a lot. Some are "selected glossaries" of only a page or two while others run to many dozens of pages.

I'm specifically wondering whether it would make most sense to do each book's glossary as a secondary, or to make a monster primary glossary using the books as the categories. The only factor I've been able to come up with so far is the (frankly far-off) possibility that online courses may be built around the texts, and in that case we'd want a stand-alone glossary. So I guess I'm leaning that way, but wondering what I might be missing by not going the category route.

Ideas? Thanks in advance for helping me think it through.
