Hi, Susan!

I use a digital notebook for precisely what you describe.  For the  
Mac, I use Circus Ponies' NoteBook;, on the PC side, Microsoft  
OneNote.  My notebooks are set up with numerous dividers (just like a  
3-ring binder) with a couple dozen categories and subcategories.  When  
I find something useful, whether it's on a webpage, in an e-mail, or  
some other document (in essence, anything digital), I highlight the  
text and images, then "clip" it to the appropriate page in my NoteBook  
(this can be done directly from the application I'm working in -- no  
need to open NoteBook).  The clipped information includes a reference  
to the original material as well as a clickable link back to the source.

Because clipping is so quick and I don't have to break my train of  
thought, I find I'm more likely to do it, and I know that that problem- 
solving tip or quotable quote will be there (and already categorized)  
when I need it.  In addition, notebooks created in either NoteBook or  
OneNote can be shared publicly.

Hope this helps,
  Shelley
