               Traditional note-taking process
                       In the traditional system of taking notes for a long report, you:
                        1.  Develop a rough outline.
                        2.  Do any preliminary reading necessary to construct a rough outline.
                        3.  Locate your information sources, and make bibliography cards for each
                            source.
                        4.  Take the actual notes on index cards.
                        5.  Label each notecard according to its place in the outline.
                        6.  Provide bibliographic information on each notecard.
                        7.  Change  or  add  extra  detail  to  the  outline  as  the  note-taking  process
                            continues.
                        8.  Check off the areas of the outline for which sufficient notes have been
                            taken.

                       When  you  have  taken  sufficient  notes  to  cover  all  parts  of  an  outline,  you
               transcribe  the  information  from  the  notecards  into  a  rough  draft,  filling  in  details,
               adding transitions, and providing your own acquired understanding of the subject as
               you write. Naturally, you may discover gaps in your notes and have to go back and
               take more notes


               How to Take Notes at a Meeting
                       Taking notes at a meeting is a completely different task than taking minutes at
               a meeting. When taking notes, one is not focusing on a general outline of decisions
               that  were  made  or  topics  covered.  Rather,  the  notes  should  serve  as  a
               comprehensive listing of the details of the meeting and the ideas and topics covered.
                       There are a number of ways to effectively take notes at a meeting. Choosing
               one  should  depend  entirely  on  the  method  that  is  best  suited  to  enhancing  the
               memory and understanding of the note taker.
                       Comprehensive notes: For a person who is more comfortable knowing, and
               recording,  every  single  detail,  it  is  best  to  write  everything  that  is  said. While  this
               would be difficult or impossible for some, for others it is simply the only way to be
               sure the information they collect is accurate.
                       Mind mapping: This graphical approach is an excellent option for people who
               do  not  want,  or  who  don't  feel  able,  to  accumulate  such  detailed  information.  To
               create a mind map, it is best to obtain a copy of the agenda prior to the meeting.
               Then list any topics of the meeting on the center of a piece of paper.
                       Noting  on  the  agenda:  One  of  the  easiest  ways  to  take  notes  is  on  the
               physical agenda itself, because the agenda already has the main points listed. Any
               information that could be used at a later date could be added next to the point on the
               agenda where it was discussed.
