Thing 6: Evernote

The tagline for Evernote is "Remember Everything"--and they mean it. Evernote is a cloud-based application used to take and store notes. You can access your notes anywhere you can get online--on a computer, your iPad, or your smartphone.




Some of the features of Evernote:

• Sort notes into different notebooks
• Notes sync between devices--if I update something in Evernote on my phone, it will show up the next time I log in on my computer.
• Tagging notes makes everything easily searchable
• Take audio notes and picture notes on any device with a microphone/camera
• Create checklists for organizing long-term projects
• Send notes to an Evernote notebook via e-mail (great for information you want to keep, but don't want clogging up your inbox).
• Many of the databases we subscribe to export to Evernote, making it easier for students to keep track of their research
