55As of this book’s publication, the most recent of these PIM workshops was PIM 2012, held in association with CSCW 2012 back again in Seattle (http://pimworkshop.org/2012—see at the bottom of this site’s home page for a listing of links to the 4 preceding PIM Workshops.
56The January 2006 issue of the Communications of the ACM included a special section on PIM (see Teevan, J., Jones, W., and Bederson, B. (eds.). Communications of the ACM: A Special Issue on Personal Information Management. New York: ACM Press, 2006). A special issue on PIM for ACM Transactions on Information Systems was released in 2008.

61Bates, M. (2002) discusses an information farming model noting, for example, that people often assemble information into collections for later use (similar to our storage of food for later consumption).
62Whittaker, S. (2011) challenges the foraging model of information behavior and, more generally, consumption models of PIM. He advances, instead, a model in which we curate our information (keeping, managing and sometimes exploiting the information we encounter).

72As an exercise, the reader might try a broader application of the “road” and “wall” metaphors. Roads stand for flow, exchange and movement. Walls for stasis and the restriction of movement. Roads are for projection and an optimistic anticipation of gain (the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow); walls are for protection and a more pessimistic fear of loss. Activities of youth are more road-like; activities of age are more wall-like. The Internet in its youth was very road-like. But now we are increasingly seeing efforts to build walls, for example, in the form of areas of restricted or privileged access. Farther afield, it is interesting to note the “road” and “wall” themes expressed in two “master plots” of literature: “The hero takes a journey” and “Stranger comes to town” (http://teachingcompany.12.forumer.com/a/9-master-plotsthe-stranger-and-the-journey_post2248.html).
