I work at www.riteintherain.com. We've just made a RITR digital fieldbook which works with the Anoto digital pen system. You can write in the outdoors in the RITR fieldbook as always, doc the pen and all your notes & diagrams go into your computer. Highlite your handwritten notes onscreen and easily convert them all into text. You can even do word searches that scan all your fieldnotes and list each entry by feildbook page!You can buy the system at www.adapx.com A very cool new system. Todd Saw your note about field notes.

I have just loaded it, but have yet to play with it. As for the labor, you are right on-- I am digging my way out of a collapsed paper mine... Thanks for the Zotero suggestion!

It would be labor-heavy to have to start over, though. www.zotero.com You can use Zotero to keep track of your PDF collection. It would be labor-heavy to have to start over, though.

I think that I have Endnote 5 around somewhere, but have not played with it for several years now. I still do my bibliographies the old fashioned way, surrounding myself with heaps of articles and notes, and rooting through them for the citations I need. I will look at Endnote 10. Does it allow for some kind of tagging or keyword searching? There is another program, Shoka (http://www.mauropiccini.it/projects/shoka/), which looks promising. And, it is open source too, which is nice. But I have not tried it yet-- I think that it is still a work in progress. Endnote, huh?

So, what I am planning on doing one day is sitting down and forcing myself from that moment on to adhere to a system where I add the PDF paper that I downloaded to the library (and I keep them all in the same folder on the disk) and link it to the actual file. This way you can search for specific PDFs in the endnoteX library.
