Oh, I think typing works too. I don't have any research showing that writing by hand works better than typing, once one has learned the letters. (I still practice writing Chinese by hand, because I remember the characters more easily that way.)
There's some research showing the value to the student of making flashcards. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I wonder if this means that the idea (on the ipdf discussion thread) of having a tool to select a bit of text that can be saved in a bib or manifest file would be a bad idea. It might make extracting bits of text easier, but could then mean that I won't remember the paper so well. Certainly when I'm researching something a little new to me I find I have to write a precis of each paper until I get enough of the topic sorted out in my head.
