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 have played with Scrivener. I don't know that it is really up to the task of a dissertation, though. I personally did not find it very intuitive to use. I deleted it after a couple of days of tinkering with the trial version. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance... Or maybe I need to get out of the MS Word habits that I've formed over the years. I have started to use OpenOffice exclusively on my Windows machine at work. Kind of my silent protest to Microsoft... Thing is - I send out my docs as Word files and not one person has ever commented that something didn't work. Of course, most of the teachers in the building are not really "power" users either. » POSTED IN:
