English abstract

Objective — The goal of this study was to find preferences for tagging or for the use of folders in personal information management using the example of the note management tool “Evernote” and to identify motivating and demotivating factors which lead to the choice of tagging or folders. Methods — The study was conducted using a combination of content analysis, discourse analysis and social media monitoring. The web extraction tool “import.io” was applied to extract the data from an Evernote forum, and the analysis program “MAXQDA” was used to carry out data coding. Results — There was no significant preference for neither tagging nor the use of folders. Instead a preference for the combined use of these strategies was found. A variety of different motivations and demotivations became evident, some of them typical for the particular strategy and others influenced rather by the specific tool. Conclusion — The results of the study indicate that, apart from other factors, the choice of the strategy for personal information management is strongly affected by the software tool applied – in this case Evernote.

German abstract

Zielsetzung — In der vorliegenden Studie wird das persönliche Informationsmanagement mit der Software »Evernote« untersucht. Dabei soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, ob bei den Evernote-Nutzenden eine Präferenz für die Tagging- oder die Ordner-Strategie vorliegt und welche Motivationen bzw. Demotivationen dahinter liegen. Methoden — Bei der Untersuchung wurden Inhalts- und Diskursanalyse sowie Social Media Monitoring miteinander kombiniert. Untersucht wurden Foreneinträge, die mit dem Web-Extraktions-Tool »import.io« festgehalten und mit der Analysesoftware »MAXQDA« codiert wurden. Ergebnisse — Eine signifikante Präferenz in Bezug auf Tagging- oder Ordner-Strategie konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden, hingegen die Präferenz, beide Strategien in Kombination zu verwenden. Des weiteren konnten viele verschiedene Motivationen und Demotivationen gefunden werden, von denen einige system- und andere strategiebedingt waren. Schlussfolgerung — Gezeigt werden konnte, dass neben anderen Faktoren das eingesetzte Tool, in diesem Fall Evernote, die Wahl der Strategie für das Personal Information Management stark beeinflusst.
