Books to record findings???
« on: Friday 09 April 10 23:05 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I have checked out some of the suggestions for keeping records but I am after something paper based to record my findings as I go along.
I loaned a library book once which was mainly american and  noted there were some details mentioned  on record keeping, filing etc , that already had headings on the page as prompts for what information to record; some web sites were also mentioned, but  as does, never got around to writing out the info to look up later and took the book back. Now can't find it!

I currently write the information down all over the place, notes, stickies, notepad etc, but it would help to have an idiot guide for recording essential info. Haven't got as far as creating a spreadsheet yet, but would rather have it in paper format anyway.

Has anyone seen any good folders/books especially for this?

Thanks
Stella
