How many of these tools have you heard of ?
How many have you tried ?
How many do you know how to use efficiently ?
Did anyone mention information overload ?
It's hard enough just knowing which tools to use - and then you need to learn how to use them efficiently as well.
What about a simple tool like Google (example note):
- do you know how to search just a single site ?
- do you know how to get definitions directly from Google ?
- do you know how to search only PDFs ?
The amount of information is increasing - and we all need different information and different tools. Whatever you need, create small notes in PpcSoft iKnow with the basic information you need to get your work done.
