Problem has changed…
![Page 16: Information Overload & Personal Information Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060106/5445a169b1af9fdb068b460f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The traditional approach focuses on
casting a wide net &
narrowing down toquality information
But what about
information fatigue?

Information Fatigue&
Satisficing

Abundance of information +
Too many devices, systems, tools, formats,
communication channels +
Information fragmentation+
Constant interruption =
Loss of Control

Systems that do not speak to each other&
Tools that lack good search-find function/organization
scheme make
information management extremely challenging
![Page 26: Information Overload & Personal Information Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060106/5445a169b1af9fdb068b460f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How do library systems measure up?
![Page 27: Information Overload & Personal Information Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060106/5445a169b1af9fdb068b460f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Do the library systems facilitate or hamper
users completing a project?
Do they make users efficient and productive
or frustrated and slow them down?
