The present invention is a device and method for organizing papers or similar elements. This is accomplished through the combination of a swing clip mechanism with a device for locating paper or similar elements such as binder pocket divider, binder cover, pocket folio, adjustable book cover, multi-paged binder, attachable unit or any other similar device. The swing clip mechanism secures the paper or similar elements to the device for locating paper or similar elements. In this way, the inherent organizing capacity of the device for locating paper or similar elements is improved and enhanced because the paper or other similar elements are securely positioned with respect to the device for locating paper or similar elements.
