PICs are islands in our PSIs where we have made some conscious effort to control both the information that goes in and the manner in which it is organized

PIM Activities
Finding/re-finding activities:
Move from need to information and affect the output of information from a PSI
Keeping activities:
Move from information to need and affect the input of information into a PSI

PIM activities viewed as an effort to establish, use, and maintain a mapping between needs and information

Information

Information finding:
Find information outside a PSI (e.g., brick/mortar library or WWW) Finding is more direct (expressing goals): location of items that meets the need People find not only information but also physical items Finding is complementary to keeping; e.g., old saying, what we find, we can keep
Trade-off exists: keeping vs. finding
Do nothing:
Especially for web search: search again, type a few characters, and navigate to the web from another web site, etc.
PIM Strategies
The lack of a coherent utility or demand function for information means that different people (or the same person at different times) will follow radically different PIM strategies Pack Rat or Blind Accumulation
just save everything, usually spends excessive time filing
Insurer
Doesn't keep everything, but creates multiple copies (paper and digital) of information items to maximize re-finding
Surface Clutterer
Doesn't keep everything, but strives to keep information accessible, often in spatially organized piles
Just-in-Case Learner
Spends excessive time consuming information when it arrives so they can always be prepared for some future information need
Just-in-Time Gatherer
Ignore all information needs except those needed immediately for current tasks. Maximizes the average value of information items, but some high-value information can't be found this way
