Information Scraps: Eluding our Personal Information Management Tools

چکیده
In this work we introduce research on information scraps, or the unorganized pieces of personal information that commonly end up in our notebooks, spare pieces of paper, free text files, or e-mail. We perform an ethnographic study investigating patterns surrounding these scraps, uncovering patterns in use, content and needs. We conclude with a description of our prototype system Jourknow, intended as a next-generation information scrap management solution.
