I have a great way that I have been using for years- it works great!
1. Go to the office supply store and purchase a set of Avery 5267
labels. They come with 80 labels per sheet
2. Open MS Word and create a new document. Go to Tools->Labels (in
the Mac version of Word- it may be different with the Windows
version) and create a new page of blank Avery 5267 labels.
3. Put a serialized number in each label (I actually have a
Filemaker database that does this for me, and I would be happy to
send anyone a copy of the blank database if you have Filemaker 6.0 or
better)
4. Print out the labels
5. Affix a label to each paper article and enter the same number
into a custom field for that article in your EndNote library. I put
the labels along the left hand side of the article, running
vertically, so that I can easily see them when the articles are
stored on their sides in a file cabinet.
6. Store these numbered articles in _numeric_ order.
7. You can have several versions of this- for example you could
create the serial number "FileCabinet A #123" to refer to article 123
in File Cabinet A.
8. Now, when you find the citation in EndNote, you simply follow the
number to the article. You can strew the articles all around your
desk, etc., and then when you are finished with them, just file them
numerically once again. No more lost articles!!
By the way, I got this idea from a program I used to own called
"InfoLog"- I think Casady and Greene marketed it for the Mac way back
in System 6.0 days. It did all the work of creating the labels and
storing the data. It went out of business some time ago, but I note
that when I googled the name just now there is a company that has
software with that name, but it is not the same thing.
Good luck, and let me know if this works for you!
