The Shoebox and the Safe: When Once-Personal Information Changes Hands
Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Personal Information Management at CSCW 2012
Preview abstract
This paper presents several examples where one user’s personal information is accessed by another, without the consent of the owner, or without the capability of the owner to consent to such sharing. While intentional sharing of information at home as well as at work has been studied in detail, there is extremely limited understanding about the practices, dimensions and models of unintentional sharing. Laws and policies that were developed with paper and other nondigital archives in mind are being found to be inadequate for addressing the challenges that digital personal information brings. Worse, those laws are being enforced in inconsistent ways, prompting lawsuits. Posthumously shared information brings up questions that have not been addressed before. This paper starts by noting examples of posthumous sharing and sharing without consent, proposes models and dimensions for understanding it, and concludes by proposing research questions that need to be addressed by the wider PIM community.

Preview abstract
In this paper, we describe the gulf that exists between research findings and their adoption in practice. We propose ideas that have the potential to increase the collaboration between researchers and practitioners to forge a symbiotic relationship between these two worlds. Our proposal includes highlighting industry constraints in academic HCI classes, encouraging researchers to present practical implications in papers, creating a collaborative platform between researchers and practitioners, and fostering strong relationships between HCI students and industry professionals.

Proceedings of the CHI 2010 Workshop: Examining Appropriation, Re-use, and Maintenance for Sustainability
Preview abstract
In this paper, we discuss sustainability as it applies to digital artifacts and personal information. We continually create and/or receive new information items in the form of emails, files, photos, media, etc., but once these artifacts enter our information ecosystems, they stay permanently and are rarely deleted even if their intrinsic value is no longer the same as earlier. This impacts information seeking tasks negatively, as users must now learn to navigate a larger corpus of information, and leads to information overload. We describe the technological causes of information overload in the context of existing finding, filing, and refiling practices and information heirlooms. We conclude with an example of a solution that can address this challenge.
