Because I have done the research before and kept the information. That is what reasonable people do rather than having to redo work, they work smarter and not harder. So, I have files where I put information away for future use. Like what is happening in the Middle East, what is going on with our environment, lies told, promises made..... and a host of other things such as your postings and comments.

My system has 22 Terabits so it is not likely I will run out of room. If you look at the books and resources, you will see that it is not just one sided. That is not right and does no one a good service. Truth is facts; numbers and statistics, it is not a one sided tale. If I can find at least four separate and reliable sources, if the four match then I accept the data. All other information is put into another category with a cross reference and search criteria so I can easily find it again, if the situation ever comes up.

I read as many as 5 books each week. And while reading I use sticky notes that I attached to pages with a brief reference. Once a week I take the books and I add the data to my database with book reference and page number. Each book is assigned a alpha character, for example books on boy wonder start with an "O" and then the year it was written and a shortcut for contents. So my shelf will have an "O95Kenya" So, this book is about Obama written in 1995 about his father the Kenyan.

Should I need the paper I developed on boy wonder and his book, I simply do a search in my system with the reference 095Kenya, It will bring up all documents I wrote that pertains to Obama in 1995 and his father.

Do you have an issue with how I manage my records? My library has over 9,000 reference books, all uniquely names and highlighted as I read them. How do you manage your library? I find my method helpful and allows quick access.
