Keeping track of books I've consulted

How do you keep track of all the books and ideas you have read about or consulted? I was thinking about posting to this blog about a book I just read, then realized it might fit better on my wiki. or, i could organize all my notes in zotero, but right now that account is limited to just my work computer. Maybe google docs would be a good place, but what if I delete that account and forget to move it? Easybib.com seems like another good place to start.

For today:

Burkhardt, Joanna M., Mary C. MacDonald, and Andre J. Rathemacher. Teaching Information Literacy : 35 Practical, Standards-Based Exercises for College Students. New York: American Library Association, 2003.
The best part of this book is that the exercises are tied to the ACRL information literacy standards. It is a typical book for teaching a research class, if you had a whole semester.
Contents of interest to me: Covers what information is, as a starting point (something that profs here have mentioned... that students have no idea how information goes from an idea to the tv to journals to books)
formulating a research hypothesis
concept mapping
keyword searching/finding synonyms

Vision for the Future: Open and Accessible ENY/ACRL Annual Conference
