Abstract
- This paper reviews the literature concerning organisation, finding and keeping activities in personal information management (PIM). A brief background to the field of PIM research, which also notes the implications of a better understanding of these activities for librarians, is followed by an analysis of the literature regarding PIM practice that examines various organisational approaches, finding techniques and keeping strategies, and the role that memory and context plays in those activities. The paper concludes with an overview of the research direction in the field, points to long-term issues for the management of digital personal information, and notes the positive relationship between insight into PIM activities and potential for improvement in professional practice for librarians.
