Does anyone out there have a good system of keeping track of all the good stuff they come across in technical journals etc. The trouble is I never seem to need it at the time and then only vaguely remember where it was when I do need it. I also give away a lot of stuff to up and coming H&S pros or send it out to wind up directors and the like.
The tear out and put in a pile method for later has finally let me down and I hate filing - any one have a better method ??

Scan it and make a file on your computer for it if that helps.

Even that has draw-backs: changing jobs; changinig computers; hard disc crashing. I tried CD Rom's but then you end up with a few and never remember where anything is :-(

Now I work somewhere that has disabled CD writers, and USB ports to stop information being exported... *sigh*

Maybe we should scan and upload to Wikepedia or the like?

I seem to always start with a Google search these days.

clumsy I know - but tear it out, and file it or photocopy it and file it. If it is really valuable stuff you which you need for teh future make 2 copies - 1 for you 1 for them keep yours in a back breaking heavy plastic box in your car
