An electronic filing cabinet for "classic" articles and other teaching materials: something old, something new.
OBJECTIVE
"Classic" articles remain an important resource in teaching psychiatry. But, such materials are often buried in a faculty member's filing cabinet, effectively lost in today's world of instant access. We attempt to recover these materials through a marriage of traditional reading lists and contemporary technology.


METHODS
The authors created a sharable electronic filing cabinet to store frequently used teaching materials.


CONCLUSIONS
An electronic filing cabinet can organize teaching materials and increase efficiency in teaching.
