Reference file at MIT
This is my reference file at work. It's starting to be a really good resource for my job. I'm almost done re-filing all of the files from my predecessor. I file alphabetically and in reverse chronological order eg- BMES 2007 then BMES 2006.
I have a separate file drawer for supplies, where I file blank forms, handouts, etc. I make the distinction because they are not reference materials.
I have to use lateral hanging files for student records. I've been working on reducing the use of hanging files and using regular file folders inside of them, as recommended in Getting Things Done. So far I've reduced the required space for Minor student paperwork by 50% just by using this method.
Next I'm going to reverse the right-tab folders and relabel them so that they are all left faaccing. I started doing that at home and it's very cool.
