This was a dream! Everything was in one place and was searchable! Tags I also used Evernote Premium’s PDF annotation and annotation summary features to draw out the most important passages within 40-page journal articles and cases. Within hours I had uploaded over a hundred PDF’s into Evernote, added “created date,” “author,” and tags to them. Nevertheless, I gave Evernote a second try. I had heard of people going paperless with Evernote, but I didn’t see the connection between a note database and document management. After all, OneNote’s built-in headings, collapsible outline format, and easy keyboard shortcuts had more than met my needs through a year and a half of law school. I had an account for years but never saw the use.
I added numbers to the beginnings of the filenames, but each time I found some new evidence I had to renumber all of them.
The worst was trying to get them to show up in order so I could think of them as a chronological list. I quickly realized that there was no good way of adding metadata to the various statutes, cases, and articles that I had collected without creating some pretty unwieldy filenames. I was working on a large research project late last year and I tried to organize my research into folders. I wanted ONE big folder, completely searchable from four distinct descriptive angles using the same tagging system I had used in Evernote.
