In the last newsletter an EndNote user said that he could locate the reprint for any article in his collection in less than 25 seconds, by using an indexing scheme he had devised. I would really be interested to know with more detail what filing systems different users have adopted. I can only see drawbacks to the following methods: - sorting by subject is difficult because many articles deal with more than one subject, therefore requiering some sort of cross-indexing. Another problem is that subject classifications evolve with time, thus leading to the misplacement of articles. - sorting by year and first author seems straightforward with EndNote. However, a lot of work is required to type keywords for each paper in the hope that they will help retrieving at a later date. With this scheme, finding papers requires complicated boolean searches, and one has no idea how many papers are missed by the search. In addition, one then becomes totally dependent on the computer to retrieve reprints. Could users explain their solutions and how they use EndNote for that purpose ? Thanks a lot !!!
