DevonThink Pro 2 & Annotations

The very powerful (Mac-only) software named DevonThink Pro was released on February 24th. This new version represents major advances over version 1 of the same product. Put simply, this is software for organizing and working with large amounts of information. Put differently, it's perfect for working with a large number of research articles (and thus is perfect for doctoral students and professors).

To find out more about this product, please read more at the DevonThink Pro website, you may especially want to look at the unique features webpage. The academic price for DevonThink Pro is $60, and the academic price for DevonThink Pro Office is $112. (The company offers an academic discount of 25% on all their products). You can see a comparison chart of the two. (Note: you won't want to buy the Personal or Note versions as they leave out too many power features.)

One of the new power features of this software is the ability to create annotations that are integrated with the research article (or any other document) of your choice. I've created a 9.5 minute screencast that takes your through both why and how to use this very exciting feature. If you're interested, download the DTP Annotations tutorial below:
