Off the wall: How do you organize your references (reading lists)
Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2023 2:24 pm
Tinderbox forum has off-the-wall section where users use to discuss new (and probably wild), and only tangentially relevant issues. The developers are not supposed to respond on that section. Users discuss whatever they want--and, the developers might skim through the discussion in case there are ideas that are relevant for the future development (of the app).
In that tradition, I am here to ask other users how they are using BE for organizing, reading, and citing references. This is to share user experience; and share some insights and inspirations among us on how to make use of this wonderful software for our good.
So, the questions are:
1) Do you use BE just to insert citations in a Word processor, or use it beyond?
2) In relation to that, do you use BE to read pdf files?
3) If you are reading within BE, how do you organizing your reading list?
- are you using Labels or folders, groups or Tags or Keywords (if any) to organize the works you are reading, or you plan to read?
4) if you are using Be with other reading/organization apps, how do you do that?
I know there is no single best approach for everyone. But, sharing experiences could give us new inspirations and insights to better use of the apps--, especially for many people who are starting up with BE; or starting up to use BE for a specific purpose (for reading, or for organizing reading-list etc, the last one includes myself).
