This session will talk about the techniques for using your Mac to move your way into more paperless life. Topics will include techniques for collecting years worth of paper data and inputting it into the computer, archiving and organization methods, workflows for handling all the paper that comes into your life, and using technology for generating less paper to begin with. We’ll discuss the various scanners and methods for inputting data, the software available for catalog and indexing the data and archive and storage. Once all the data is digitized we’ll also talk about making sure the data is secure, accessible and backed up.
