Description	Proceedings of the 30th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval Personal Information Management (PIM) is a rapidly grow-ing area of research concerned with how people store, man-age and re-find information. A feature of PIM research is that many systems have been designed to assist users man-age and re-find information, but very few have been evalu-ated. This has been noted by several scholars and explained by the difficulties involved in performing PIM evaluations. The difficulties include that people re-find information from within unique personal collections; researchers know little about the tasks that cause people to re-find information; and numerous privacy issues concerning personal informa-tion. In this paper we aim to facilitate PIM evaluations by addressing each of these difficulties. In the first part, we present a diary study of information re-finding tasks. The study examines the kind of tasks that require users to re-find information and produces a taxonomy of re-finding tasks for email messages and web pages. In the second part, we propose a task-based evaluation methodology based on our findings and examine the feasibility of the approach using two different methods of task creation.
