Even though teaching is a<br \/>\nmainstream, information-rich profession, teachers are understudied as<br \/>\ninformation users. More specifically, not much is known about teacher<br \/>\npersonal information management (PIM). Teacher PIM is critically<br \/>\nimportant, as teachers navigate a complex information space complicated<br \/>\nby the duality of digital and physical information streams and changing<br \/>\ndemands on instruction. Our research study increases understanding of<br \/>\nteacher PIM and informs the development of tools to support educators.<br \/>\nSome important unknowns exist about teachers as information users: What<br \/>\nare teachers&#8217; PIM practices? What are the perceived consequences of<br \/>\nthese practices for teaching and learning? How can PIM practices be<br \/>\nfacilitated to benefit teaching and learning? This study employed a<br \/>\nqualitative research design, with interviews from 24 primary and<br \/>\nsecondary teachers. We observed various systems for information<br \/>\norganization, and teachers report their systems to be effective.<br \/>\nImportant sources for teachers&#8217; information in order of importance are<br \/>\npersonal collections, close colleagues, and the Internet. Key findings<br \/>\nreveal that inheriting and sharing information play an important part in<br \/>\n information acquisition for teachers and that information technology<br \/>\nsupporting education creates unintentional demands on information<br \/>\nmanagement. The findings on the nature of teacher information, teacher<br \/>\ninformation finding, keeping, and organizational practices have<br \/>\nimportant implications for teachers themselves, school principals,<br \/>\ndigital library developers, school librarians, curriculum developers,<br \/>\neducational technology developers, and educational policy makers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interesting paper by Anne R.
