[Air-l] Doctoral Research - Project or Document Management Software

[Daniel Sutko]

I've just started wrestling with this problem, too. I've been  
experimenting with Journler (http://journler.com/) and Yojimbo  
(http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/), both for Mac.  Journler  
is donationware, but you can get a student discount for Yojimbo.  
Right now, they're looking the same to me, but maybe 30 days will  
tell the difference. :) I'd love to hear what other people are using,  
too.
