- If you've ever wanted to start a Zettelkasten or you are wondering what all the excitement is about, this is the series to catch. Now I'm planning a course that will take you through building the Zettelkasten of your dreams. If you'd like to know more as the course is developed, you can sign up to receive updates here:

Thank you for the answer and support. What I take from your lesson is not the size of the bib card that matters , but the selection that goes while making a main card that counts..
Yes!
This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I have been watching lots of your videos and learning tons. I love that you show us examples from your own cards and demonstrate your process. I also take lots of bib notes because I read so many library books. It would be a pain to go back to the source book. Thank you again!
You are most welcome. Let me know if there is an issue you would especially like me to address.
Thank you for this video. I also take lots of notes on my bib cards and have the same philosophy as you. If there are longer passages or things like lists that I want to have quick reference back to, I'll make a line in the margin, note the page number on the bib card, then add a short note. Otherwise, I take deeper notes on the bib cards. A given book (if it's good and full of info) can generate half a dozen or more bib cards. I also write on the front of cards 2+ so I don't waste any space.
I tried writing on the fronts of my bib cards, but I ended up totally confusing myself (sigh). So now I put summary notes on the front. It's good to know that I'm not the only one out in left field with lots of bib notes.
Another note - Something I've started doing is using different letters in the front of my bib card numbering. I figured if everything started with "r." then that is a slot that could be used to encode something in my system. I now use it to encode what media the reference came from/where I can go back to the original source. "b." for a physical book on my shelves, "z." for Zotero, etc. I like to keep things as analog as possible, but I do use Zotero for my Ph.D. research since I'll need to retrieve all of the reference data digitally for publication anyhow.
Jay, I love this idea. b - book, v - video, j - journal article, L- library book or other book loaned to me. Very nice! May I share your idea?
@@KathleenSpracklen of course!
Thank you! Do you want me to mention you as "A cobra pilot" or as "Jay"?
@@KathleenSpracklen Jay is fine.
Hi Kathleen. Wondering May I ask what the meaning is of the corners cut of cards?
Thank you for your question, Martin. When a Main Card or a Bib Card requires more space than one 4x6 file card, I cut off the corner of the second and subsequent file cards. This practice makes it very easy for me to a) see that the card extends to more than one file card and b) easily grab all related cards in one pull. Does this answer your question?
