Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-24 00:00:00 Frederick Keller Unless you're extremely interested in Personal Information Management, you'll find this book boring. Even if you do find it interesting, there are still some parts that are dull. But this is a thorough academic introduction to the academic field of Personal Information Management as it existed in the mid-2000s. The most valuable parts of the book are the portions that are descriptive of how people really handle their personal information management tasks. Some of the chapters also cover particular tools that were developed to study PIM. These tools are not generally interesting in and of themselves, but the descriptions of findings often are. This book is a bit dated. While there is a chapter on group information management and the topic is lightly touched throughout, the book doesn't really cover the impact of social sharing on personal and group information management. (Or, as I put it when I read the introduction: this book isn't going to give any insight into Pinterest or Facebook.) That said, I think that anyone who is developing personal or group information management tools can benefit from learning the ideas in this book. Although much has changed, much -- especially the fundamental information management needs individuals have -- is still the same.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-10 00:00:00 Edward Gagnon A bit on the academic side for any of you casual readers... but a great read for those of you who (like me) are interested in how we manage our personal information and data. Lots of great case studies ans scenarios from different perspectives.
