Personally, I have a different file for each project (e.g., my "SRS ideas" file is one example), and if the project gets to take any amount of time, I create a folder for it where I can put all kinds of things. <br /><br />I should write something about this whole notetaking practice, as it's something that varies a lot from person-to-person, and there are practices we all could learn. <br />Dan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603209997260423532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-21338840224902145572014-03-15T06:15:27.179-07:002014-03-15T06:15:27.179-07:00It looks brilliant, but you're correct in call...It looks brilliant, but you're correct in calling in a funicular, which, by definition is "a cable railroad, esp. one on a mountainside, in which ascending and descending cars are counterbalanced." A gravity car has no attached cable. It's running free. <br />Dan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603209997260423532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-57508579930845293242014-03-14T12:08:12.636-07:002014-03-14T12:08:12.636-07:00How about Funicular Railways?

The Conan Doyle connection was really good. <br /><br />The HathiTrust and Beall's List are new for me. Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />What do you suggest we put in our <i> SearchResearch notes </i>? What I do is add the key lessons that I learn in each one (for example, words, sites, procedure to search). Also, keep your answer on email so I can search there; and maybe you can suggest more? By the way, I liked RoseMary answer when she added key words used in the challenge.<br /><br />Have a great dayRamon Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129830563029534511noreply@blogger.com
