What's a good way to bind/archive papers?

Hey folks -- I've been absent for a while and apologies that I'm coming back just to ask a question.

I work with a lot of (academic) papers and am looking for a good solution towards archiving the ones that I need to reference. I've not found an effective electronic solution (although feel free to propose one), as I tend to process and find information more effectively when I have a physical document in front of me. I'd like to collect all relevant references to each of my projects in one "book."

I've always found binders unwieldy -- they're usually large and cumbersome and it's difficult to scan through the documents as turning pages is difficult. It would be nice to have a labeled spine, though, for easy categorization.

I'm happy to entertain any (greener) electronic solutions, as well -- however, in the case of an electronic solution, the issue is less of storage as much as it is of browsing.

You could use binding combs. That way the papers are bound and you can put a label of some sort on them. I am not endorsing them, but here is a link to a site where you can buy the type of thing that I am talking about: http://www.mybinding.com/.sc/ms/cat/Binding%20Supplies--Plastic%20Comb?gclid=CO7-osvwza0CFUbCKgod1BWxkw

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
