Very Good information management system December 3, 2007 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I do a lot of private research in many subject areas and this is the best product I have found for the price that allows you to collate information from many electronic sources.
In essence OneNote allows you to create a virtual filing cabinet with different draws into which you can place folders that have notes and sub-notes. The notes and sub-notes can contain virtually any data format including images, drawings, voice or text. During installation plug-ins are added to your Office products and Explorer enabling information to be imported to OneNote very easily and this makes research on the Web very efficient.
Non MS applications 'see' OneNote as an installed printer so any file that can be printed can be sent to OneNote. If you do not want to import the data you can just import a hyperlink to any file on your system.
Most other information management tools that I have used implement a keyword system so that you can quickly find all information associated with a particular subject but the problem with this approach is that you have decide upon your keywords upfront. OneNote goes one step further by suggesting that you install the Windows desktop search application that allows you to do a freeform text based search from your desktop of all of your storage devices, including all of the information in OneNote. The drawback of this utility is that it can dramatically slow the performance of your machine when updating its indexes. As far as I can tell OneNote works fine without this search facility and it is only really needed if you are a serious researcher so if you have a machine with anything less than a top range Pentium 4 processor I would try to live without it. The installation of OneNote was painless and I have been using it for several months without any application crashes and it is very easy to use.
Highly recommended for anyone who needs to structure and search large amounts of information from different sources.
