Yep, you're going down the right track - that'd pretty much copy
elements out of someCollection into your books structure.
An example pulling the "books" from a database:
<cfquery datasource="foo" name="qGetBooks">
SELECT isbn, author, title
FROM books
</cfquery>
<!--- To create an array of structs --->
<cfset aBooks = arrayNew(1)>
<cfloop query="qGetBooks">
<cfset thisBook = structNew()>
<cfset thisBook.title = qGetBooks.title>
<cfset thisBook.author = qGetBooks.author>
<cfset arrayAppend(aBooks, thisBook)>
</cfloop>
<!--- To create a struct indexed by the ISBN --->
<cfset sBooks = structNew()>
<cfloop query="qGetBooks">
<cfset sBooks[qGetBooks.isbn] = structNew()>
<cfset sBooks[qGetBooks.isbn].title = qGetBooks.title>
<cfset sBooks[qGetBooks.isbn].author = qGetBooks.author>
</cfloop>
<!---
You could also use a loop inside of the query loop to loop over the
columnList of the query, moving all fields into the structure
progamattically. That way, if you needed to add a field, just add it
to your query, and, well, bam.
