Now that you have stacks of and folders filled with articles, how do you keep them straight? Well, no "right way" exists, and you'll find what works for you. But to help, online "citation managers" are available to virtually file and annotate articles, books, and more.
More on these tools will be shared on this page soon, but to get started, see the Research Guide specifically on Citation Managers.
The SMC librarians are most versed in Zotero and Mendeley. You can always contact your librarian for more help with these.
