Abstract

While we have so far discussed technological tools for managing information, most people still use paper as the primary medium for storing and producing information. When people decide to organise their office, paper is usually the primary motivating item and many of the items in our office (desk, cabinets, trays and shelves) are there to support our extensive use of paper, even though we may have a sophisticated computer network available. In this chapter will discuss, and offer some hints on managing, paper-based information.
