Let us assume a situation you are browsing the internet and
you found something very interesting or useful, but you
don't have time to read that information right away. And you
want to save this somewhere for this kind of situation. And for
other note taking tasks. One of the best applications is called
Evernote. I mostly still use paper based diaries. But if you
are a digital person, Evernote is one of the best application
to take notes. And in this video, I'm going to show you how
to capture the important information from the internet
and save you to Evernote using a Chrome extension called Evernote
Web Clipper. In this video, as you can see that I have opened
few tabs at the top. And this is what I'm going to show you
quickly that how you can use Evernote to quickly capture the
important information. But before I do that, you need to
have two things installed on your computer. One is the
Evernote application. This has a free version, I am still using
this free version for the last six months. And I have started
to like this application a lot. Therefore, I decided to make
this video for you. Because I think it is a very productive
application. It increases the productivity. It saves a lot of
time. And the second thing you need to install is the Chrome
extension, which I'm going to show you how to install it
because some might not know so i just open a new window. This is
what you need to type Evernote Web Clipper for Chrome. So I
just click Enter.
And this is the extension which we have to add in our browser.
So I click on that, then I click Add to Chrome. It will ask for
some permissions and then I just click Add. So when the
application is installed, you will see this page and the
second thing you will notice will be an elephant head in your
browser. This elephant icon is the same which you will see on
your desktop when you install the application. So make sure
that you know the difference that both are elephant head but
one is in the browser. One is on your desktop or on your mobile
phone. Now you can close this page if you want. We can also
close this. Now first let me introduce to you Evernote
application. Some of you might not have used this before. So
once you install the free version of Evernote, you will
see something like this because I have created few notebooks
here. So this is how we work in Evernote, we create some
notebooks. And inside these notebooks, we put our notes. As
you can see that total notes are shown here in my notebooks. This
is the number of notes I have in total. And then individual
notebooks have notes written in front of those. If I click on
this arrow, little arrow, I can see both of these notes. And if
I click on this note, then I can see what is inside this note. So
this is a page I have stored previously. And I'm going to
show you how you can store this as well. So to go back to your
notebooks, just click on notebooks. And then to add a new
notebook, we click on a new notebook. And to add a new note,
we click on this add new note. So this is a very simple
application yet very powerful to store notes. And one of the
powerful capability of this application is that it can also
search the handwritten notes. So if you write something, you take
a picture from your phone and you store in this app. You can
search even your handwritten notes, and I will demonstrate
this in one of my other videos. But today we are going to learn
how to use Web Clipper to store information from the internet.
So let us assume that I am reading this article. And I find
this article very interesting. This is about Google's advanced
search operators. In particular, I like this part, how to hunt
down plagiarize contents. Sometimes students submit
assignments which are plagiarized. So I want to save
this information for reading later. Because we have installed
this right now. So we might have to reload this page before we
could use the Evernote. So I just click on this elephant
head, and it will show me this dialog box. In this dialog box,
I can store this information in many formats. I can store this
whole article, simplified article, I might lose some
images. I can save this as a page. I can save this as a
bookmark, which I will show you in a minute. And I can also save
screenshot. Most of the time, you will be using the screenshot
because mostly a part of the article is useful for us. As in
this case, I only want to save these two paragraphs but before
For misled screenshot, as you can see that all my notebooks
are here. And I have created this notebook in which I am
saving all the plagiarism related information. So I want
to save this in this particular notebook. By default, it goes to
my notebooks. And I can change the notebook from here and no
this notebook notebook is selected. And no, I can select
this screenshot. And as soon as I click on screenshot, I will
get this cross here. And no, I have to click on the left top
from where I want to select. So I just put the cursor there and
click and drag and drag up to this one, for example, only this
part or let's say add these two, just to show you a little wider
area, and then I release at the right bottom side. Now I have
the ability to add some markers to let me remind what I wanted
to read when I started this. So let's say I click on this arrow,
and I say I wanted to read only this paragraph. So this is how I
can put some marker. And then I just press Save clip. And now it
will be saved in my Evernote application. And now I can view
in Evernote.
And now this is the note in my Evernote application. If I want
to change this to any other notebook, I can do this by
clicking on these three dots. And I can move this to any other
notebook if I want. But because this notebook is appropriate, so
I don't want to move. But you can click any of these, for
example this and then you can move this as well. I don't want
to move so I just close this. So most of the time, you will be
saving a part of a page by taking a screenshot into your
notes, which you can later refer on and these notes will be
available to all of your devices, to your mobile phone,
desktop, your laptop, you can access this anywhere from any
device. So this is the beauty of saving notes digitally. And you
don't have to keep paper based diaries with you. And now let's
take another example. I just want to go back to Google
Scholar and show you how I can save some papers. So let's say
you are doing research and you are looking for some papers. And
you put this keyword, this is my keyword in my field, your field
will have different keywords. So I just click on that. And I
search for some papers on Google Scholar. And then I find one
paper very interesting, I just click on that paper. And now I
want to save this for later reading. I again click on this
elephant head. And this is by default in Article format. But I
want to save this in a bookmark format. Because this just looks
a little bit more organized. I click on that it will show me
that this will be saved in this manner. So I can just click on
Save clip. And now my clip is saved. And I can view this in my
Evernote. And this is the bookmark of my paper. So now if
I want to move this to a particular folder, let's move
this to any particular folder which I have created this Google
Scholar papers. So I click on this and I move this to that
particular notebook. You don't call it folder you call it
notebook. And now in order to just check, I click on my
notebooks, I click on Google Scholar papers. And then I click
on this arrow in Google Scholar papers and then click on this
one. And this is my note available here. So this is how
you can store any important information from the internet to
your Evernote application by using this Chrome extension
called Evernote Web Clipper. Very useful. And in particular
for research students for teachers who are creating
contents looking for information and trying to gather information
on a particular topic, you can use this application. So I hope
