RE: Hardcopy files
>From the beginning, I built my hardcopy files around the Record Number, giving each paper a Record Number and filing papers sequentially in, what is now, my six file cabinets (over 5000 hardcopies). However, since the Record Number can change, I duplicate that number in the LABEL field. I can search any field and, when reference is opened, the LABEL number leads me to the copy in the files. So far, my record numbers and label numbers are still matched.
As with any files system, you have to be sure you refile the paper in the correct place, or it becomes "lost."
