William Paul Jones is a pioneer of the field of personal information management (PIM). He has written extensively on the topic, holds seven patents relating to search and personal information management, and was noted for his early contribution to Planz. In 2005, he organized a seminal National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored event the "Invitational Workshop on Personal Information Management". His 2007 Annual Review of Information Systems and Technology survey Personal Information Management[1] continues to be strongly cited. His 2008 book Keeping Found Things Found: The Study and Practice of Personal Information Management[2] was well-received[3][4] and followed by a three-book series, The Future of Personal Information Management,[5][6][7] and articles in the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Sciences.[8] This and other work [9] describing a framework for understanding personal information management has been called "highly influential" by recognized researchers in the field of PIM.[10] Jones' project Keeping Found Things Found was the subject of a 2004 New York Times article[11] and a 2005 Seattle Times piece.[12]
Jones’s current work focuses on how people can manage their personal information as they age in order to better achieve optimal health, wealth and the sharing of their legacy.
