Student/Academic Filing Question
caseykoons | Apr 29 2006
Congratulations to you all, especially those of you who responded to my post in the "I'm new" forum. I took your advice and borrowed a copy of GTD from my local library, and I am beginning to try to implement in my life. I've asked a few questions surrounding GTD and the academic lifestyle on this board and I have another one. I'm curious about filing systems. I know that David Allen suggests an A-Z and warns that personal systems are dangerous. The vast majority of the things I save for "reference" are photocopies of journal articles and books related to my field, the History of Religions. I especially curious about the opinions of other graduate students in this matter. Should I have a separate file (by topic or by author) for my academic resources or should I through them in an A-Z general file with my owner's manuals, bank statements and newspaper clippings? Thanks for your help. 24 Comments

Do you have access to RefWorks, by any chance? I've used it once or twice to export Endnote references to BibTeX format. The resulting BibTeX takes a little tweaking of citekeys, as I remember, but it's pretty straightforward. On the subject, this week I also had to send some references from my BibDesk library to an Endnote user, and this convertor did the job nicely. » POSTED IN:
