They truly are the best resource and reference I have for myself. Your tips on organization are a great idea, my notes are currently organized by date and a hassle to find, re-ordering by subject is also a pain. One tip I might add. Zotero is a firefox addon for bibliography generation, but I use it just as often to remember a reference I know I want to be able to find again. It only takes a few moments to tag, and syncs to an online server so I don't have to worry about backup.

I have been trying to keep notes on all that I read in order to retain the most important bits. I've been recording them in both a blog and composition notebook, but f0r some reason I've never thought about using Open Office (or, in my case, NeoOffice). Now I think I'd like to keep my notes in documents because I've been finding that recording in blogs and notebooks aren't very efficient, at least in my case. I just discovered your self-education blog yesterday, and I find it quite helpful and enjoyable to browse the archives and check out the links. Keep up the great posts! Thanks for the tips!
