A Principle of Uncertainty for Information seekingJ. Documentation, 49
The purpose of this paper is to investigate and model the process of organizing personal information in digital form in the context of everyday life.Design/methodology/approachA background survey, a diary study and two interviews were conducted with each of the 18 participants, who are information users in social science academic environments. In particular, the personal information organization process (PIOP) model was developed by tracking and analyzing 143 organization events.FindingsThe PIOP model consists of six stages: initiation, identification, temporary categorization, examination/comparison, selection/modification/creation and categorization. This model also shows actions, thoughts and decisions involved in the organization process, and 19 factors that impact the process.Originality/valueThis study introduces a new model that specifically shows the process of organizing personal information. This study advances our understanding of the process and informs the design and development of systems and applications that support personal information management.
