We are well into a second age of digital information. Our
information is moving from the desktop to the laptop to the
"palmtop" and up into an amorphous cloud on the Web. How can one
manage both the challenges and opportunities of this new world of
digital information? What does the future hold? This book provides
an important update on the rapidly expanding field of personal
information management (PIM). Part I (Always and Forever)
introduces the essentials of PIM. Information is personal for many
reasons. It's the information on our hard drives we couldn't bear
to lose. It's the information about us that we don't want to share.
It's the distracting information demanding our attention even as we
try to do something else. It's the information we don't know about
but need to. Through PIM, we control personal information. We
integrate information into our lives in useful ways. We make it
"ours." With basics established, Part I proceeds to explore a
critical interplay between personal information "always" at hand
through mobile devices and "forever" on the Web. How does
information stay "ours" in such a world? Part II (Building Places
of Our Own for Digital Information) will be available in the Summer
of 2012, and will consist of the following chapters: Chapter 5.
Technologies to eliminate PIM?: We have seen astonishing advances
in the technologies of information management -- in particular, to
aid in the storing, structuring and searching of information. These
technologies will certainly change the way we do PIM; will they
eliminate the need for PIM altogether? Chapter 6. GIM and the
social fabric of PIM: We don't (and shouldn't) manage our
information in isolation. Group information management (GIM) --
especially the kind practiced more informally in households and
smaller project teams -- goes hand in glove with good PIM. Chapter
7. PIM by design: Methodologies, principles, questions and
considerations as we seek to understand PIM better and to build PIM
into our tools, techniques and training. Chapter 8. To each of us,
our own.: Just as we must each be a student of our own practice of
PIM, we must also be a designer of this practice. This concluding
chapter looks at tips, traps and tradeoffs as we work to build a
practice of PIM and "places" of our own for personal information.
