In an ideal of personal information management or PIM, people always have just the right information, in the right form and at the right place, to meet their current information needs. Tools help so that less time is spent managing this information and more time is spent making creative, effective use of the information. The panel discusses key challenges of PIM that must be met in order in order to make significant progress towards this ideal. What has been accomplished over the past 20 years or so? In what ways have computer-based tools helped? In what ways have they hurt? Panelists take different positions concerning a basic question of PIM: Is current research and development, especially in human-computer interaction, taking us in the right direction? Or are fundamental "course corrections" needed to meet the challenges of PIM?
