When Joyce took notes while reading, he wrote down words or phrases to use them in his own works.
When writing Work in Progress (Finnegans Wake) one important role of his assistants was to read to him (his eyesight was failing) so that he might pick out what he liked. The piles and piles of literary references and wordplay were the result of meticulous, decade-long work.
