“…Preserving these new belongings requires the owner to become a digital curator. Archivists acknowledge a need to personally preserve today's electronic culture (Beagrie 2005), but this seems highly unrealistic. Particularly in the digital domain, most consumers lack the expertise and time to manage complex personal repositories and one consequence may be the loss of highly valued artefacts (Marshall et al 2006).…”

“…The number of digital and analogue belongings in our lives is rapidly increasing (Marshall et al 2006, Beagrie 2005. As well as older analogue artifacts, family archives may now include digital recordings (images or videos), digital communications (emails, SMS, voice messages), and self-created digital artifacts (school assignments, blogs and Websites).…”

We carried out fieldwork to characterise and compare physical and digital mementos in the home. Physical mementos are highly valued, heterogeneous and support different types of recollection. Contrary to expectations, we found physical mementos are not purely representational, and can involve appropriating common objects and more idiosyncratic forms. In contrast, digital mementos were initially perceived as less valuable, although participants later reconsidered this. Digital mementos were somewhat limited in function and expression -largely involving representational photos and videos, and infrequently accessed. We explain these digital limitations and conclude with design guidelines for digital mementos, including better techniques for accessing and integrating these into everyday life -allowing them to acquire the symbolic associations and lasting value that characterise their physical counterparts.

“…With these regression results, we could identify possible factors for further analysis to better prepare in PHIM. For instance, many studies have examined the challenges that individuals experience during digital archiving practices [14,17,19,20,23,28,41]. As we stated, our goal was to identify a profile for active PHIM performers and to discover what possible improvements based on the current state of PHIM practices and perceptions among college students.…”

INTRODUCTONWith the emerging trends in patient-centric care, healthcare records generated for and by professionals are increasingly being distributed to patients. Using electronic patient portals, termed personal health records (PHRs) systems, patients and their caregivers can easily access their health records that were not previously available. In addition, health consumers seek online assistance for their health matters on a regular basis, which in turn produces online health information for later personal use. With abundant personal health information at hand, individuals are faced with a critical challenge in evaluating the informational value of the healthcare records in order to keep useful information and discard that which is determined useless.College students in particular are confronted with a similar issue, but their situation is quite different from that of the senior population. Young, healthy college students who were previously dependents of adult parents or caregivers are less likely to be concerned with disease management. As such, their lack of interest in healthcare [1] leads to further disinterest in personal health document management. In fact, college students are still under their parents' health insurance policy, so their health documents are still under their parents' supervision and management. Even if they are in the gradual process of becoming independent from their parents, college students are rarely taught how to evaluate the informational value of their health records. Personal health information management (PHIM) is a special case of personal information management (PIM)that is associated with multiple interactions among varying users (e.g., patients, providers, insurance companies), complex health information and systems (e.g., labs, medications, insurance), and advanced health information technology tools (e.g., personal health records, personal health devices) [2][3][4]. In PHIM research, little is known about college students' information management activities in the health context. Thus, this study investigates the demographic and academic profiles of college students in regard to diverse PHIM activities. Additionally, we aim to discover the major determinants of key information management activities among college students for health information. PHIM Activities and Document TypesWhat individuals do with their personal health documents has been studied to understand diverse information management activities, document types, and related personal behaviors. As a health focus of PIM, PHIM refers to informational activities and behaviors, such as collecting, organizing, searching, sharing, using, and understanding health

“…This is particularly unfortunate because email messages frequently contain evidence of a type and quality that is strikingly different from and complementary to publicly available resources such as web pages, blogs and social media postings (see Beagrie 2005, see Figure 1 and related text). Email generates a constantly evolving yet fragile record of actions taken by organizations or individuals.…”

“…The rise in computing power and cheap storage has led many people to compile large personal digital libraries, often including email (Beagrie 2005). Some people care deeply about preserving their email and even go to extreme lengths to do so (Cavender 2010).…”
