Abstract

George Miller's article allowed me to reflect on the progress of information organization and representation in this Information Age. Miller's vision of information seeking behavior and the spatial nature of memory in computer environments may have seemed unreachable 25 years ago, but today it is not a dream. Technological advances have brought about imaginative methods of access to information, raising a new question: Have we created new dilemmas about the organization of information and a new burden on our memory? The answer is manifold. I will attempt to briefly compare some recent developments with my bias about organization of information and locating information spatially. The examples provided refer to general computer use and searching library systems.
