Ideally I'd like some way to keep records on authors, keywords, journals, and publication years of articles (PDF files) downloaded onto my local drive. In the course of reading literature for research, it often happens that I find myself wanted to return to something I have previously read, but I only recall a few "things" about the article, often the author and a keyword. Is there some inventory/database software (for local use only) that can be easily used for this purpose? (The closest things that comes to mind (conceptually) is "image collection" software.) What are some of my options here? Thanks, Daniel
