what limits do you place on types of documents you will use endnote

for Sender: /> Precedence: bulk Reply-To: /> I use endnote in a pretty typical fashion...to file scientific papers and creat bibliographies. But I often get documents that are not scientific papers and I will never use in a bibliography, but I DO want to be able to find later for reference. Just a typical example...today I got a sheet of instructions from our graphics department for doing large print jobs. I'm tempted to throw it in my EndNote library; I could find some other home for it, but chances are I'd lose it or spend an hour searching for it when I need it. So, the question begins to arrise...do I use EndNote for every document I want to save for future reference? One sort of scary part of this is... if I ever lost the EndNote library for some reason, the my physical and electronic documents would be totally disorganized (I store my physical documents by EndNote reference #; the physical documents are not sorted in any other way; and yes, I always back up my EN library). A follow-up Q: Endnote doesn't let you define custom document types does it? Some documents, like my example above, don't fit easily into any of the standard categories (journal artical, book, ....)

On this topic, what are some of the custom document types that people have found particularly useful in the humanities? I am a little hesitant to start defining new types of book (compiled by, illustrated by, forward by, afterword by, edited and translated by, as told to, catalog) when there are only three unused document types and about the only other types I cannot imagine using are Equation and Computer Program.

Hmm, I do have one or two press releases in my files; I suppose that in researching contemporary artists (authors, composers, theater groups, drug companies, whatnot) this could in some cases be a significant type of document.

Also when you are investigating 'moral panics' and the ways in which authorities are attempting to represent 'deviants/deviance.' Some of the media releases are as juicy as a tabloid weekly!
