Grad Students Represent: Note Taking / References on OS X

Submitted by ScottE22 on February 16, 2007 - 7:53am.

My new MacBook arrived last week. As I am beginning a doctoral program in the fall, I'm interested in knowing what others are using to (1) take notes on the Mac, and (2) start building a reference or bibliography for a dissertation.

For note taking, I have Googled up quite a few, including:

And for references/bibliography building, I have heard about Endnote.

Ultimately whatever I choose I want to be able to stick with for my entire program so I'm not worrying about compatibility issues, etc.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!!

I heard Merlin talk about VooDoo Pad recently on MacBreak Weekly so I'll give it a look.

Any other thoughts of what I should be looking for when it comes to actually formatting and writing my dissertation? I never could get very good at formats and styles in Word, but is there a way to get around using it in academia?
