Abstract

As more and more information is exchanged digitally, and as the tools for sharing and collaborating become more pervasive, users are presented with new opportunities and challenges in how they manage their personal information. Despite the traditional emphasis on the individual in research related to personal information management (PIM), it is apparent that family, friends, co-workers and other collaborators can strongly influence one's PIM behaviors. In this workshop, we will explore: 1) the role that other people play in an individual's PIM in a variety of collaborative and sharing contexts, and 2) the effects that web and cloud-based services are having on PIM practices. We focus on the challenges users face in an evolving communication ecology when sharing and exposing personal information in a variety of situations.
