“…In Cushing and Kerrigan (2022), we found that while individuals maintain alternate personal information to construct their identity for themselves, they also maintain this information for their children, so their children are provided information that demonstrates that they are connected to family/an intended parent, even if the Irish government marginalizes them by not recognizing them as family in officially maintained documentation. Again, in this example, PIM maintenance is used to counter marginalization.…”

“…Exploring the reverse of this understanding, information that does not represent one's identity, also allows for viewing PIM as self-care. Cushing and Kerrigan (2022) explored instances of where official personal information (largely birth certificates and passports) did not represent the individual's identity as a parent, but which the individual had to maintain for the purpose of engaging with society. To counter this "does not represent me" view of the personal information, many participants maintained additional personal information that they thought did represent their identities as parents to "counter" the officially maintained documents by the state, and/or worked to change data collection systems, to allow for the recognition of multiple family structures.…”

“…5.3.2 | The contributions of PIM to equality, justice, and trust If we view PIM as a caring process, I believe we can explore the contributions of PIM to societal concepts including equality, justice, and trust. Cushing and Kerrigan (2022) suggest that PIM may hold potential for becoming an indicator of inequality in instances where certain groups in society are required to engage in more or different PIM than other groups to receive the same benefits and entitlements. As governments begin to explore how to create a more just society and achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), how can PIM contribute to these aims?…”

“…Cushing and Kerrigan (2022) explored the PIM of LGBQ parents in Ireland attempting to obtain birth certificates and passports for their children. The concept of PIM as invisible labor was found to define the inequality that LGBQ parents face in attempting to obtain birth certificates and identity documents for their children in Ireland (Cushing & Kerrigan, 2022). Participants stated that the additional PIM felt like invisible labor, which demonstrated how the parents faced inequality in the birth recognition process designed by the Irish government.…”

This paper explores the use of Fisher and Tronto's four phases of ethics of care (caring about, taking care of, caregiving, and care receiving) to three personal information management (PIM) frameworks, with a focus on PIM maintaining. The author argues that ethics of care can provide a theoretical foundation for PIM by using the four phases of caring to develop a perspective of PIM as a caring process using the categories of PIM as self‐care and PIM as caring for others. The paper begins by reviewing Fisher and Tronto's ethics of care, cites research in related fields that have applied ethics of care, and then describes how ethics of care could be applied to PIM research. To conclude, the author offers suggestions for how ethics of care can be applied to future PIM research in the following areas: better understand the motivations for PIM; the ways in which PIM can contribute to the social concepts of equality, justice, and trust and how social institutions can facilitate “good” PIM.

Death is an inevitable part of life and highly relevant to information management: its approach often requires preparation, and its occurrence often demands a response. Many works in information science have acknowledged so much, and yet death is rarely a focused topic, appearing instead sporadically and disconnected across research. As a result there is no introduction to, overview of, or synthesis across studies on death and information. We therefore conducted an extensive literature search and reviewed nearly 300 scholarly publications at the intersection of death and information (and data) management. Covering seven topics in total, we review two groups of work directly engaging information management in relation to death (digital possessions, inheritance, and legacy; information behavior, needs, and practices around death), three engaging death and technology that require information and its management (death and the Internet, thanatosensitive design and technology‐augmented death practices, and the digital afterlife and digital immortality), and two reflecting the ethical and legal dimensions unique to death and information. We then integrate the collective findings to summarize the landscape of death‐related information research, outline remaining challenges for individuals, families, institutions, and society, and identify promising directions for future information science research.

This short paper reflects on previous personal information management (PIM) research using the theme of “invisible PIM.” Three scholars gathered to reflect on how this theme is relevant to their research. After comparing reflections, the following threads of invisibility are highlighted as holding potential for future exploration: the role that PIM can play in reinforcing invisibility, the concept of maintaining information over time as being more likely to be labeled as invisible labor, and a focus on non‐work experiences of sample populations. This work in progress concludes with suggestions of how reflecting on themes versus following PIM activities (a departure from previous practices for these researchers) was a useful activity to think about a future PIM research agenda.
