12. An organization system for formatting information from a searchable database using a research module, the research module configured to correlate search criteria to the searchable database for generating one or more matching items, the searchable database being in a directory tree structure including nodes comprising a collection of related data and branches comprising links between the nodes, the system comprising: an organization server configured to: perform, using the research module, a search of the searchable database to generate one or more matching items correlating to search criteria, wherein each of the one or more matching items represents a node from within the directory tree structure; format a collection of related data corresponding to a node of one matching item of the one or more matching items into an encyclopedia-like entry; and a communication mechanism configured to communicate, to a computing device, the encyclopedia-like entry corresponding to the node of the one matching item; wherein the organization server is further configured to: save an indication of the search and an indication of a notification method, the indication of the search comprising an indication of a navigation path through the directory tree structure to the node of the one matching item; determine, based on the saved indication of the search, that new information is associated with the node of the one matching item after communicating the encyclopedia-like entry to the computing device; and automatically send, in response to determining that the new information is associated with the node of the one matching item, a notification of the new information via the notification method.

The organization system of claim 12 , wherein the search is at least one search from a group consisting of: a keyword search, wherein the search criteria for the keyword search is one or more keywords; a hierarchical search, wherein the search criteria for the hierarchical search is a selected one of a list of one or more directory items; a dichotomous key search, wherein the search criteria for the dichotomous key search is a selected one of two binary items; and a parametric search, wherein the search criteria for the parametric search is one or more set parameters.
