Will using Diigo to keep track of the research process work?

As I have been stealing moments before and after work looking for appropriate research material I have been using Diigo to keep track of my bookmarks and annotated pages. I have been keeping track of how many hits I get based on the criteria entered and have put this information in the notes section. Here's hoping that when I collate all the information on the weekend it still makes sense. Will this approach work? It certainly doesn't work for CMD readings as these are protected files when you click on the link it takes you back to the log in screen and not that reading, the same applies for journal researching through the library. I have had to record these separately. Stay tuned more to come on this.....


Kuhlthau's ISP

Exploration mode- I am starting to find some resources that are useful so I'm feeling a little bit more optimistic about that but still feel worried that I won't be able to find great resources. I'm noticing that many of the key terms that I am searching for have been used interchangeably by different people which is a bit confusing. Luckily I have our Kuhlthau text to help me feel centered.

Thoughts- still vague but getting more centered.

  1. I haven't heard of Diigo - but then I haven't known about a great deal about many things in this unit of study!! Delicious bookmarks, dropboxes and wonderwheels are all so new. I'd like to have a go at using Diigo but will have to wait until I have more time. It certainlt looks like it is a tool that works for you.
