I've just started with the whole research thing, so I appologize if these are rather basic and/or stupid questions.<br>
<br>
I'm looking for suggestions on how to stay organized -- keeping my notes, references, etc orderly and easy to find. I've tried keeping my notes in a Word file, organized by headers, but I've found this quickly gets unwieldy due to the sheer size of the file (it's over 200 pages now). I've thought of perhaps using notecards (ie 3x5 cards) and keeping them in file folders, but I really have zero experience and I'm not sure exactly what to do.<br>
<br>
So I defer to the experience of the boarders. Any suggestions you might have would be wonderful. Thanks! <p></p><i></i>
