Factors and Evaluation of Refinding Behaviors

In this paper we describe difficulties involved in studying PIM behaviors and factors that can affect how people approach the refinding process. Factors that have been studied in the context of information seeking behaviors are summarized and their application to PIM and refinding are discussed. Finally, we note the importance of task in evaluating information refinding and reuse behaviors and discuss several task taxonomies that have been proposed that have applicability to the evaluation of PIM.
