Printed or published material is provided with a unique alpha-numeric code that is both in a machine-readable format and in a human-readable format. When the user picks an article or other information that the user wishes to save, he uses an access device that reads and scans the machine-readable code. The user could also enter the human-readable code. Periodically the device accesses an information service and transmits the stored codes. The user then obtains from the information service electronic copies of the articles which the user desires to archive. The information service organizes the articles in the user's personal virtual filing cabinet by subject based on the way the codes have been assigned or as designated by the user.
