A database stores records of resources that include web pages and web-accessed files, electronic files, and hardcopy documents. The URL of a web page or web-accessed file, the file access path of an electronic file, and the location of a hardcopy document are stored in the records. The records can be created by a user. The user can store an Internet link record when the user is browsing the web page or reviewing the web-accessed file. The user can store an electronic file record when the user is exploring files. The user can enter descriptions and notes that associate with the records. The resources can be organized into categories and sub-categories. For example, certain web pages and web-accessed files, electronic files, and hardcopy documents that cover the same subject can be grouped into one category. The records, including the descriptions and notes of the records, can be shared by other users that have access to the same database.
