Why not simply copy and paste text from an online guide into a word document, along with your questions and comments - or use a program like OneNote to capture and mark up online text?<BR/><BR/>More and more students are reading things electronically these days. I'm writing my dissertation, and I don't keep any research materials in hard copy: I have photographs of archival materials (saved as PDFs) and I use Zotero to catalog and create notes for each file - if I kept the papers for all of this, I'd have killed a whole forest by now. That's another topic, perhaps, but adapting to electronic materials is a useful skill, I think.<BR/><BR/>And I'm going to guess they kept the student handbook in hard copy.supergradstudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273235229344593874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-38278387946956742362009-04-05T10:11:00.000-05:002009-04-05T10:11:00.000-05:00Ohh!

Older faculty members were notoriously obnoxious about needing their overdue or recall notices in paper, even when it regularly led to the books being overdue even longer. The library regularly requests going to all email notifications for budgetary reasons, and are always shot down by the faculty.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620502383457868515noreply@blogger.com
