Rather than squinting at a tiny screen, I haven't found anything better than
a bunch of (3 x 5) cards and a big, big surface like a huge conference table
or a wall. Cheap too. But then you do have to enter the data, and yes, the
card system does seem to have limitations. So?

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Digital/electronic set-ups for organizing research?
Hello all,
I'm a first-year biology MS student doing molecular phylogenetics
research. As
I get ever-deeper into my thesis research, I'm trying to work on my
organizational skills before things get too messy. In addition to a plain
old
paper notebook, what digital/electronic resources do you use to keep
notes/experiments/papers/data organized?
For papers I've just started using Mendeley (and I've heard great things
about
Papers for OS X, but I'm on Windows 7). For notes and data I've heard
others
mention Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, keeping a Wordpress blog, or a
personal
wiki. How do you best take advantage of the features of these options or
other
options I didn't mention? I'd be grateful to hear suggestions and tips
from
other biologists.
Cheers,
Kevin
