The document introduces the ENC method, which is a fast electronic notetaking method for managing research notes, quotes, facts, and ideas when writing papers. It was developed by Beth Rodgers, an English instructor, to help students write papers in half the time by freeing them from managing footnotes and citations. The ENC method captures information electronically to easily integrate into papers. It comes with instructions and a reference card to guide researching and writing using both traditional note cards and the ENC method.
