I need a personal librarian...

[sarahmichelef]

I keep misplacing articles. Fortunately just about everything I use is available online, but it's still annoying to have to go back and relocate and reprint it. And I know that as soon as I do that, I'm going to FIND the articles. I need some lackey to catalog all of my stuff and keep it organized for me. Follow me around picking up pieces of paper I leave lying around and putting them where I'll be able to find them the next time I need them.

On the other hand, I've now got things set up so that I can print duplex with a minimum of fuss (still a two-step process, but a simple one).

here are three excellent means of bookmarking/organizing through tagging your online articles. Probably connotea or citeulike would work the best, but you should check them out. ;)I know it won't help with the misplacement problem, but at least you won't have to go back and find the articles again.

or you could just start being more organized....

You're very funny. My filing cabinet is a pile of banker's boxes in the guest room closet. And I'm in the middle of trying to catalog everything I've got, so there are piles related to things' catalog-status.

are you using subject headings? :P

LOC number. So much stuff I use crosses subjects that headings don't work all that well.
