Tuesday, August 25, 2003
I'm happy to announce that we've just released Citation 8.2 - a
great way to organize notes and research. We've also put it on
sale, and this month's article contains Tips for Using
Technology in Research Writing.
In the past, many users have asked if there is a way to get
their Web-based email into askSam, and now there is. We've found
a great service called IzyMail, that lets you import Web-based
email (Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL) into a regular email client so you
can archive it in askSam.
Enjoy,

TIPS FOR USING TECHNOLOGY IN RESEARCH WRITING
By Lynn Fauss, Director of Academic Products & Services,
Oberon/askSam Systems
Need ideas on how to get your computer a little more actively
involved in the research writing process? Although researchers
have welcomed word processors with open arms, other applications
that help you with the research writing process are not as
widespread. In this article, I'll describe how a bibliographic
database program like Citation (along with a few other programs)
can be integrated into the steps writers go through as they
prepare studies, reports, papers for classes, scholarly
articles, legal memoranda, treatises - or any other sort of
research writing.

ASKSAM FOR EMAIL ARCHIVING by Jim Carroll
"In a nutshell -- I've been online since 1982. I've kept email
since 1984....several hundred thousand messages. All of this
email is indexed and referenced with askSam -- and this has
become my most important productivity tool bar none.
askSam works with the hundreds of thousands of email messages in
my archive in a flash -- with the result that my database of
messages has become, in a way, a unique customer support tool.
I often have situations where I might be dealing with a person,
and I can refresh my experience in a flash, which makes me very
effective; or I might be asked to keynote a particular industry
conference, and I can instantly dig out a list of previous
similar events and comments from those events..."
