RESEARCH TIPS: FINDING THE RIGHT INFORMATION ON THE WEB
by Anant Patil, askSam WebMaster
There are a number of tools to find information on the Web, but
their usage and suitability varies from task to task. Being able
to find the right information at the right time is a key to
successfully completing a research project on time. Over a
period of time, I've learned some tricks to find better quality information. In this article I'll share these with you.

RESEARCH ORGANIZATION TEMPLATE
The problem with researching a particular subject or topic is
that the information can come in all types of formats - Word
Processing files, PDF, Email, Web Pages, your own personal
notes, etc. Where do you keep all this information? This new
Research template provides the starting point for organizing
all your information into one handy file.

ORGANIZE YOUR ENTIRE OFFICE WITH ASKSAM by Jennifer Bowers
"Using askSam, I have organized my entire office. At the end of
each day, I import all my email into my email database,
including the attachments. Whenever I get a new business card, I
enter the contact information into my addresses database. When I
need to send a mailout, I make labels right from my address
file.
When you work independently, every moment of time that you don't
have to spend doing administration gives you time to be working
on projects. With askSam and SurfSaver, I can archive my
information as I find it, and I can come back to that
information over and over again. Never again will I waste time
looking for scraps of paper or business cards, I've got them all
at my fingertips!"
