Abstract
|
People are capturing and storing an
ever-increasing amount of digital information about or for themselves,
including emails, documents, articles, portfolios of work, digital
images, and audio and video recordings. Computer processing, storage,
and software tools available to individuals are increasing in power,
volume, and ease of use, year on year. Many issues arise from this more
informal and increasingly empowered landscape of personal collection,
dissemination, and digital memory, which will have major future
impacts. This presentation will consider current research trends and
emerging services in this area and discusses potential implications for
individuals, digital libraries and their institutions.
