I find a database "reference manager" program to be extremely useful.
Most articles can fit into more than one subject file. Thus, when
using a subject-based filing system, the article I was looking for is
never where I expected it to be! The "reference manager" software used
around here is Papyrus. It is easy to use, flexible, searchable, etc.
You can import references into it (e.g., after a MedLine search), and
can build a reference list from a document created in any number of
word processing programs. No more re-numbering references! Not having
used the other software packages, I can't directly compare Papyrus to
EndNote, etc. I strongly recommend some type of database software.
