Grad Students Represent: Note Taking / References on OS X
Scott Elias | Feb 16 2007
My new MacBook arrived last week. As I am beginning a doctoral program in the fall, I'm interested in knowing what others are using to (1) take notes on the Mac, and (2) start building a reference or bibliography for a dissertation. For note taking, I have Googled up quite a few, including:
And for references/bibliography building, I have heard about Endnote. Ultimately whatever I choose I want to be able to stick with for my entire program so I'm not worrying about compatibility issues, etc. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!! Scott 42 Comments

When I bought my Macbook I did the exact same thing. After reviewing a lot of software, my school work goes through: Omnioutliner Pro: Not just for kGTD. You will be able to buy the upgrade since Macbooks already come with the standard version. Once I got omnioutliner to open up with a freshly prepared document ready for my exact notetaking preferences, it was just like butter. Helped me a lot last year. iWork or Neooffice: Stay away from Microsoft Office. I think it runs like CRAP, and it's just down-right wrong to pollute your mac-goodness with the likes of it. (I can't believe I turned into an actual Mac-Fanboy). iWork works wonderfully if you can afford it. I love working with Pages and Keynote. Neooffice (still in beta), is a lovely alternative - it just doesn't have the beauty of iWork. I am still looking around for programs to help with research. I have heard of Endnote, but I know there are ALOT of alternatives. Someone else should know more. Kind regards, » POSTED IN:
