Reference Papers
Reference Papers
(OP)
We all have acquired numbers of reference papers over the years in this business that we felt at the time would provide us with some guidance or insight into different aspects.
How do I store these papers? Used to be binders but now am finding that I can't keep track of the papers. How do you store this info so you can reference and find the info quickly? Any ideas that work?

RE: Reference Papers
The way my attorney intrepets the copyright issue is that I purchased the original media for my personal use--that use absolutely encompasses making copies for my personal use regardless of the media. I can't give copies away. I can't sell copies. But I can have copies in different formats for my own use as long as I don't remove a copyright notification.

You could recomend to your company that they adopt a policy of all new technical papers being electronic versions and every time you refer to an existing reference, uptdate it from the original source. That way, the references that do get used (if found) get updated.
Many references e.g. standards, get updated periodically so it would be no hardship to replace old paper versions with more up to date electonic copies. Articles are another matter, but if they are sourced from magazines then some have archived copies on the web sites that can be downloaded.
By the way, there is some software that will read scanned text and covert to text files... never used it so I don't know how good it/they are but just a thought.
