The sixth chapter of The Bedford Researcher, titled Managing Information and Taking Notes, talks about how to take notes, and how to save those notes and the sources those notes came from. This chapter is split into four sections. The first section of the chapter goes over ways to save and organize any information that you have collected from your sources. This section specifically goes over how to save both physical and digital sources, and gives a number of ways to get information into a format that you can use. The second section of the chapter talks about why notes should be taken, saying that taking notes helps the reader understand the source better as well as lets them keep the information close by.
The third section gets into how you should take notes. Overall, this section just gave a number of ways to record specific quotes and told the reader that if you take notes, you should find a way to record the data that works for you, and then stick with it. Towards the end of the section, it began to transition to labeling your sources in some way so that you know what information that source provided. The fourth section talks about how to create a bibliography, and mentions that annotating a bibliography can help with keeping track of what information came from which source.
