What’s the best way to organize your resources for a paper?

I have this “researched” paper for english to write (6 page) and were supposed to answer a question we have about the industry of work we’re going into. Mine is media arts and I’m answering the question of whether the new age of 3D/CGI will ruin or improve films as a whole. I’ve printed out about 10 resources and I have yet to read them all but I’m looking for an efficient, and maybe virtual, way of organizing notes, being able to categorize, highlighting, and just be productive. The old method i used would be copy word for word from the resource on to a notecard, categorize my notecards by letters associated with a topic from the outline, then put those categorizes in some sort of chronological order, then write the paper. This method worked but i hate writing! Any one know of hopefully a digital way of doing this ?

Do you use Microsoft Outlook or a similar program that has Notes? Something much like your old method but easier and less time consuming would be to Copy and Paste content and links from your sources onto Notes. You’d have to type the dates and the ordering numbers, but you can color code them for categories and bold the highlighted bits.

I found a link to an index card database program you might want to check out. It is shareware, and they’re asking $10.00 for it. I don’t know anything about the program so can’t recommend it, but if you don’t like this one, there’s probably others.
