SLA 2008 - Keeping Found Things Found (Tuesday, June 17)

By emma wood

William Jones of University of Washington Information School spoke on personal information management (PIM). While Jones was a good presenter and this session was interesting, it was more about theories of PIM, and not on practical skills, as I had expected. A key point I took from this is that the action of writing something down is more powerful than re-reading it. He also discussed the merits of tagging vs. folder structures and described some neat studies he has been working on (see Keeping Found Things Found & Tales of PIM message board).
