Re: Personal Document Library

Hi Corey

I developed a little MS Access tool several years ago to manage my
printed documents. Nothing fancy here, but it allows me to capture
author, title, source etc. and print the metadata on a cover sheet
prior to me putting it away and able to be retieved later by wildcard
search on any metadata field. It also allows me to distribute the
document across a filing system which aligns with a BCS. If I can
work out how, I will attach a copy - feel free to do with it what you
want. (Maybe I will just upload to the files area in QKM).I have left
some data (which is not confidential) to give you an idea of how I
used it. I found it invaluable during 4 years of research because I
was able to recall key components of a document I had seen, but not
say author details. A simple search, provided the concept is captured
in the metadat, locates the document. During this
time I also used Endnote (a commercial package) to assist in
bibliographic activities but found the search facility in this not to
be appropriate for my way of thinking. (I have considered developing
a tool to link my Endnote libraries with the personal FileManager,
but ...).

For PDF properties management I use a product called PDFill
(http://www.pdfill.com/). When a PDF has been edited, this product
allows changes to some of the properties, but have not investigated
this too much - but what do you expect for US$20?

Regards
Nev
