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

[Lois Ann Scheidt]

I have always made entries in Reference Manager 
(http://www.refman.com/) to document the titles for downloaded files 
and webpages.  I have a titling system and everything goes into one 
folder for easy access and that system works fine for me.  However, I 
have to admit that I really like the look of some the programs you've 
suggested here, particularly Papers.  Are their any good PC based 
solutions? No I don't own a Mac...not yet.
