Keeping Found Things Found: The Study and Practice of Personal Information Management

As the quantity of information people are required to deal with in their daily life continues to grow, the associated task of managing this information becomes increasingly relevant and important. Personal Information Management (PIM) as a research field is concerned with understanding the behaviours and problems associated with managing personal information of various kinds. Whereas in his previous book co-edited with Jaime Teevan [1] Jones focused on PIM as a research topic for the research community, in this work, he attempts to open up the research that has been performed, making it accessible to people who struggle with managing their information. As Jones notes early on the book this means just about everyone! The aim here is to inform the reader about scientific results in order to encourage him to think differently about the PIM strategies he employs and to use the gained knowledge to make informed changes to his habits with respect to his own individual needs and circumstances.
