Hi CheriC,

I'm doing something similar: I've setup a project "Literature" with objectives
like "Local History" (divided in several places), "Regional History",
"Social/Economic History" etc. When I find an interesting title for a book or
article (mainly historical) I enter that as a task in one of these objectives.
I could enter the details allready as sources too but I've decided not to do
that. I enter the details about the book/article in the task description. Nice
thing is that when I find a title that falls in several categories I just have
to enter one task and can link it to the several objectives.

Now I have to collect my scraps of paper and notes and enter that in this
project. Everytime I work with Genbox the workload seems to get bigger and
bigger!

Wim
