Abstract

An important part of the research on personal information management is scattered due to the intrinsic characteristics of the object under study. This work tries to undergo this scattering and bring up a more complete, global and integrated study of that type of management strategies. More precisely, our study offers an analysis of the global informational behaviour of a group of individuals (students of an e-learning university) who have a positive perception of the use of information and communication technologies and who realize an intensive use of them. From this research four different user profiles (reactive, passive, exhaustive and proactive) have been identified in relation to personal information management. These profiles show the differences of the information behaviours in each context (daily life, professional and academic).
