AB  - This study considers Personal Information Management (PIM) processes for system design and
development. Keeping, managing, maintaining and re-finding are the main processes in PIM. A control lab
based-user evaluation was conducted to compare our proposed system (photo refinder) against baseline
system. User’s opinions and time taken to complete each process were used as criteria for efficiency. Findings
revealed that photo refinder makes keeping and managing processes interesting, maintaining process satisfying
and interesting and re-finding process easy, relaxing, simple, satisfying and interesting. Findings also showed
that, users took significantly longer time to complete keeping and managing processes using photo refinder
compared to the baseline system, meanwhile, they took significantly less time to complete re-finding task using
photo refinder compared to the baseline system. The results suggest that, supporting PIM processes including
the introduced features (delete in keeping process, tag and annotation in managing process, track all the
changes in maintaining process, search and browse in re-finding process) are potentially efficient for improving
personal photographs management in general and re-finding in particular.
