My co-authors are Elisabeth Shields and Crystal Renfro, and in fact the core of the post was written by Elisabeth. For their bios take a look at the Academic PKM website (http://academicpkm.org), where the three of us blog on the topic and where Crystal and I are running a year long free course on Increasing Productivity for Librarians and Academic Researchers.

I really liked seeing the productivity tools that you have incorporated into your daily life. It always gives me new ideas, not only on tools, but on the organizational thought process that an individual uses in their personal knowledge management system. My personal system currently includes both Evernote and Microsoft OneNote. Evernote I like to use for collaborating with my 2 blog co-authors (www.academicpkm.org) and sharing resources we find. OneNote I use for my own personal “scrapbook”. I have notebooks covering online classes/workshops I’ve attended, quotes that I want to remember or use in the future, pictures /links for a wish list and combined family/friend gift list, research notebooks on topics I’m following, etc. I love the depth of organization and free form of the pages in OneNote. In recent years I have started using mind-mapping software to organize lists and synthesize the data capture from group brainstorming sessions. I really like the visual aspects of mind-mapping; it appeals to my “big picture” thought processes. I don’t have a favorite mind-mapping tool yet, but I’ve been playing with Docear.

I’m looking forward to reading the comments of others to your post. One of my co-bloggers (Mary Axford) and I have just started a free, year-long program on our blog(www.academicpkm.org) called the “A Year to Improved Productivity for Librarians and Academic Researchers.” We’d love to have you visit.

Will PP slides or handouts be available somewhere soon?
