The use of paper in everyday student life

ABSTRACT

The information we encounter in modern life, in developed countries, is a hybrid of the physical and the digital. Personal archiving tools allow users to capture and retrieve aspects of their everyday lives in digital form. In this paper we use a diary study of students' interactions with paper-based information to inform the design of such archiving tools.
