FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Software Product Aims to Make Paper Index Cards a Thing of the Past
Designed for Academics, Knoesis Index Card Lite Replaces a Traditional Research Tool

Annapolis, MD - December 11, 2001, Knoesis today announced the release of its flagship academic project management software product -- Knoesis Index Card Lite 1.1. This new software takes the familiar and time-honored practice of taking research notes on paper index cards and makes it faster, easier, and more efficient. The software allows users to create, file, and retrieve electronic cards through a customizable matrix of subjects, sources, and keywords. The cards can be cast in any combination of fonts, styles, and sizes, and even allow for embedded graphics and music files. Cards can be put into the desired order then exported to a word processor file -- with a complete bibliography automatically appended -- easing the initial steps of writing a paper or speech.

As a teacher and writer, I take a lot of notes on what I read. I used to use paper index cards rather than a notebook for research because the cards could be shuffled around to help organize my thoughts." says Knoesis president and software developer Mike O'Donovan-Anderson, However paper cards still meant a lot of copying and re-typing -- just a huge waste of time. I figured there had to be a better way, so I developed Knoesis Index Card Lite to utilize the benefits of paper cards while at the same time eliminating the busywork. With Knoesis, once you enter notes and source information, the information can be reused over and over. And when youre ready to write, just export the cards to a word processor and all the information is there, including quotes, notes, and the complete bibliography."

ODonovan-Anderson continues, I wish I had written Knoesis before I went to grad school! I would have saved so much time, and Id still have easy access to all of my notes."
