Abstract
In this paper, the roles of selected individual difference factors were examined in some personal information management (PIM) tasks. A questionnaire was completed by 295 participants regarding their personal characteristics, retrieval of previously saved information, and selective use of multiple computers.

And certain gender difference in PIM tasks could be explained by different expectations or standards.KeywordsPersonal Information ManagementProfessionGender
