I tend to get just loads of magazines, some good some not so, but within them I find articles or adverts I want to keep, in the old days I would try and keep then in a large blue ring binder, as clips or the full page, it was unwieldy and not so usefull, I would often forget it was even there.
But not now, I save just about all I can to Evernote, via an App called PDFpen for the Mac, it has the ability to control my Brother Scanner copier, and send the PDF to Evernote with a new title.
I prescribe to the pro version of Evernote, which gives me the avidly to get PDF articles scanned, and made available for search.
This is a major boon for me, as I search for things in Google, I get both the web finds, plus a small box with what I have in my personal archive within Evernote that matches the search.
For students this should be almost Mandatory, for lecture notes, reticle and the like, for the technologist, it's a smart way to add credos to you, the transferable skill set that should be so part of your CV.
Today's photo is on a search I made for a box article I made about 10 mins after the video below was made, showing the PDF turn up in a search for Box trees.
