Note-taking and Information Management for Humanities & Social Sciences Research: Tools, Techniques, Tips

Sustainability

Technology changes quickly, incrementally. It's likely that we'll be doing things differently on different kinds of devices in five years. Whatever tools you decide to use today, make sure you'll be able to move materials from one system to another tomorrow.

Avoid software without these functions.
