'The piece of paper'. Is it the To Do list that you printed out to take to the library. What I do is add to each To Do document, the date I visited the repository and found the article was not useful. I keep that list for future visits, because I may find that I looked for one branch, but another branch may be there instead. Once I find a document which gives the facts I need, I print a list of the To Dos that I will then remove from my computer, for archival purposes. Rich in LA CA
