Most researchers categorize their research under surnames and localities. These are perfect for creating folders. For professional researchers these folders can take one additional step. The initial folder could be the name of the client and sub-folders can display the names of the surnames and localities researched on behalf of that client. When creating folders for bookmarks, it is important to think about the scope of the site's information.
Folders traditionally go from the largest to the smallest in scope.
Also, there will be times when a Web site could fall under more than one category. For instance, a Web site devoted to Salem Witches could actually be included under Essex County, Massachusetts. However, it is probable that the Web sites in question are saved because of their witch information rather than their locality. A good rule of thumb for classifying Web sites under such a system is to determine what emphasis has been established at the Web site. Twist on Bookmarks While saving bookmarks is essential, there is software available that offers a slightly different twist to the old bookmark theme.
