Planning for research at the National Library of A.Do you use Evernote for genealogy, or are you planning to? Why not try a research checklist template?.Using this method one can leave a conference with notes organised and centralised for later review. The notebook also contains a guide to using maps to determine travel times to various venues.Īn Index is provided for the notebook and individual note links can be added to this as the templates are duplicated and renamed for the days and individual sessions. Any handout given can be scanned to the notebook, I then incorporate it into my session notes so that the material is kept together. My handwriting is poor and I find keeping notes on a tablet quick and easy. I then type my notes from that session directly into Evernote on my ipad while listening to and watching the speaker and their presentation. The individual session template has the room, location and time, title of session along with the speaker's abstract. This way I can keep track of the who, what, where and when - particularly with photos or tips and tricks garnered along the way. The general and the individual day templates are in the form of lists and remind me to add photos, contacts and a variety of other materials at the end of each day. Each template is tagged with a tag individual to the conference to be attended. There are templates for individual sessions and for days of the conference as well as a general overall note to help me focus on information I may wish to collect and remember. To keep my memories and notes of the event all in one place, I set up some basic templates that I can use again and again.

To this end I download the conference program, save it to Evernote then mark and annotate the sessions I want to attend. A simple method to avoid carrying excess paperwork when attending a conference and trying to keep track of sessions, is to centralise any conference administration, notes and papers into Evernote.
