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

I like the look of DEVNONthink. From the feature comparison, I can't see a compelling reason to go with the Pro Office version over Pro for the additional $60. I like the idea that I can actually attach PDF files since I've already started to collect quite a library... I can see the scanning and character recognition feature being a bonus, but again -- will I use it enough to justify the $60 when it seems like everything is available electronically these days anyway. Unless you are very lucky, you will be spending alot of time in the stacks; and a scanner that is friendly with bound materials would be invaluable. I know I would have killed for the combo of DTPO and a such a scanner during my grad school days. As things stand now, I use DTPO + scanner at home and at work as there is still more material than I would like that is paper only. For stuff where there is no legal requirement to keep the paper, the combo really helps keep my paper files from getting out of hand. » POSTED IN:
