The first strategy Jenna used (the post-it notes, relating new info back to old info) is very useful, and I have used it myself! It's very helpful to visually mark where new information belongs relative to your old information.
I have also found the highlighting of specific sections to be very useful in my learning and reading. It is so important to not over-highlight, because then the highlighting becomes obsolete, and one cannot distinguish between the really important content and the not-so important content.
I have never done the labeling of the index before, but I really like that idea because it's a very personal way to categorize information. I like that she related it to something that wasn't necessarily related to her academics, but was important to her in her personal life. It is so important to connect one's major/classes/career to one's true interests, because, after all, we all want to be interested in our jobs!
