Information Resources

-
 As I am only initially entering the field, I have a lot of my own research and information to collect. I'm faced with the primary question of what the best way to organize the information/resources I find, especially since I don't have my own laptop right now and am using various public terminals to do this very basic research. Things that I'm looking at right now:

All I knew ahead of time was to "Come dressed up." The shin-dig took place at "The Blue Flamingo, amateur bar and home of Russell Scheidelman , whom I later found out was ex-Combutible Edison and the creator of an amusing little magazine called Organs and Bongos, which he gave to me as a gift. The next morning, as I was trying to recover, I read the piece straight through, I loved the "fake ads" for products like the ads for various vinyl albums that presumably someone should make, but never has..Need examples.

I made ham and sauteed potatoes, bannana, yogurt and orange juice for the boys, mushroom omlette and coffee for myself.
