The document discusses various aspects of personal knowledge management including ideation, searching, storage, retrieval, and application. It provides examples of mind mapping tools that can help with conceptualization during the ideation stage. For searching, it recommends search engines like Google Scholar as well as databases and RSS feeds. Tools mentioned for storage include Evernote, Zotero, and Mendeley which allow storing, tagging, and retrieving documents and citations. Retrieval can be done through manual classification or desktop search tools, and stored references can be cited in documents using tools like Zotero and Mendeley. The document closes by noting some tools may require administrative privileges and not all are fully developed.
