Look at torrents now rather than downloading extensively by hand. Can I find MathSciNet as torrent? Otherwise download bibtex from MathSciNet by hand maybe, for authors as well as for topics and for journals/book series. At some point I might need to set up an rss feed, but how to organize and get access to such feeds???
Work with JabRef. Two-fold goal: Build database for my own needs, and another for long-term completeness. How integrate these? Can I tag items with “interesting” and “missing”.
I already have a long list of “things to scan” here in DB, must integrate this somehow.

Old notes (pre-MPI):
Try Papers. If I import a bibtex item already imported before, do they merge or not? And if one has a pdf attached, does the other one sense this?
Note: can outsource tedious stuff to Freelancer.com, Elance, oDesk and the like
Organize the book and journal collection folders, maybe via publisher and book series. Sort copies of all the subject folders into these organized folders so as to avoid downloading the same things again and again. Then I can search for example GTM or Progress in Math on library.nu, and download whatever is missing in each series. It would be very nice to eventually have a web interface for these collections. Maybe I can download only bibtex items from MathSciNet??? using some script.
To get complete bibtex entry collection from MathSciNet, could go either: - journal by journal, series by series - by MR classifications - by MR subjects The question is how to stay updated with new journals and new things continuously indexed in MR Note that the subset of interesting maths is quite small, maybe a few hundred thousand items.
Annals: Continue with favourite downloading from vol 56.
Duke: Start again at Vol 96 no 1. At uppsala i think.
It seems like 50 articles is the maximum you can download in a day. But two days later the limit was 12.
Old note: Duke: scanned 1960 up to and incl vol 49 issue 3, start here by downloading Garrett on Modular Curves etc. Also vol 134 up to and incl year 2008, and Vol 71 no 1 and 2 only!
Keep downloading journal issues to improve my “collection”. See Scratchbook entries on Downloading, Book series, and Journals, and maybe also Glossary entry on Journals.
