KeyTabs
® let you personalize the
handbook to fit your needs.
Unique, custom-fit KeyTabs® allow you to
personalize your Keys handbook. These tabbed cards are movable
bookmarks designed to let you return quickly to the places you look
up most often. They are also handy notecards and "margin space." They
provide additional space for times when you need to add your own
example, make a note, or jot down a question about something in the
handbook.
To use a KeyTab®, simply
- Take a KeyTab® from the back of the book when
you find information that is particularly helpful or when you wish
to make a note;
- Insert the KeyTab® into the binding at the
place you wish to mark, with the tab extending above the top trim
of the book, bookmark style;
- Write the topic at the top of the card.
- Cards can be moved as needs change.
In a nationwide survey of students using Keys for Writers,
we asked students how they used KeyTabs®. Here were
some of the many answers we received:
- To write down assignments given in class
- To take notes for tests
- To summarize the main point of a lesson
- To get back to common errors
- To add punctuation examples from my own work
- To copy down all the different page numbers listed in index
for a particular subject
In all cases, students were resourceful in using
KeyTabs® to make the handbook their own and to find
needed information more quickly and easily. Feel free to use
KeyTabs® in the ways listed above and in other ways of
your own invention.
Additional KeyTabs® are available in packages of
five.
