When you consume multiple books on one topic, what does your notebook look like afterwards? Does making a wiki, or a concept map, or a relational diagram help? I've been hired as a contractor to work for a university researcher to do work I know, but in a field I'm unfamiliar with. My first task: to "get to know" the field by reading through five hefty books and textbooks. I've never had to self-guide this type of information consumption before and could use some advice on how to do it most efficiently.
Note: I don't need to write anything; I need to understand it all, and be able to use my notes to go back to the original work.
