Study
Interest in the study of PIM has increased in recent years. One goal in the study of PIM is to identify ways to introduce new tool support without inadvertently increasing the complexity of a person’s information management challenge.

A related point is that the value of a new tool must be assessed over time and in a broader context of a person’s various PIM activities.
