Background and Aim: PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (PIM) process consists of four activities; acquisition, organization, maintenance and retrieval. Obviously this process is due to human limitations and expanding scope of PERSONAL space of INFORMATION which has become an exhausting and difficult process. Use of technology and tools related to PIM could facilitate this procedure. This survey study aims to investigate PIM behavior and its four activities among graduate students in the University of Birjand and was performed on the basis of digital environment.Method: Population of this study was all graduate students at the University of Birjand in the 2013-2014 academic year. Self-assessment questionnaire was used to collect INFORMATION.Results and Conclusion: The results show that the overall PIM and all four activities among graduate students at the University of Birjand were less than estimated desired rate and there were significant differences between PIM in various course studies, also among master's and doctoral students. Computer and laptop was most used tools for storage of PERSONAL collection, the most widely used method for organizing based on content and finally the most common method for retrieval of INFORMATION was based on the explanatory notes.Originality: PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT filed is a relatively new area of research and yet little research was performed in PIM area in Iran. Meanwhile the studies perform, have less focused on the behavioral aspects of PIM and have been more observing PIM tools and affecting factors.

The problem of PERSONAL identity among others may stem from the following question—what does be the person that you are, from one day to the next, necessarily consist of? The diachronic problem of PERSONAL identity raises question on the necessary and sufficient conditions for the identity of the person over time. The synchronic problem is grounded in the question of what features or traits characterize a given person at one time. To answer these questions, John Locke discarded the soul and the body as necessary and sufficient substances for PERSONAL identity over time. He accepted consciousness as the only criterion for PERSONAL identity; the only thing capable of remaining the same and preserving PERSONAL identity through change. Though Locke’s argument is somewhat clear and coherent but what remains vague and incoherent is embedded in the question—what exactly is consciousness? How and why should it be the basis or criterion for the determination of PERSONAL identity? Using the method of critical analysis, I argue that Locke’s choice of consciousness as the determinant of PERSONAL identity, though quite novel, is incoherent and vague. Secondly, Locke had already presumed and anticipated clearly though fallaciously the very thing he wishes to substantiate. I therefore conclude that Locke’s argument is just another way of trying to escape but inadvertently prolonging the difficulty of apparently articulating a distinction between the psychological approach and physiological approach to the problem of PERSONAL identity. However, in my submission, I propose the concept of the “other” as alternative approach— a sort of an extrinsic-intrinsic approach to the problem of PERSONAL identity.

Introduction: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the dimensions of PERSONAL knowledge MANAGEMENT (PKM) of administrators in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. A survey research method was applied to conduct the study.Methods: A simple random sample of 91 academic, research, student affair, financial administrators, and department chair subjects in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences participated in the study by responding to PKM questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire was tested and verified. The collected data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, repeated measure analysis and multivariate analysis of variance procedures.Results: Results showed that Most of the administrators had a medium level of PKM skills. Furthermore, results indicated that highest mean was self-learning MANAGEMENT (19) and lowest mean were knowledge networks (14.37) and research skills (14.30). Comparing PKM skills of administrators to sex (f=2.50, P=0.01) and type of organization (between faculty and central organization of university) (f=2.50, P=0.01) demonstrated a significant difference, however, the rest did not so.Conclusion: PKM skills are one of the most essential skills of administrators, especially educational administrators, because of their task such as teaching and improvement of every educational and research activity.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the effective factors on PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT and to recognize the strength and weakness in PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT of postgraduate students at Alzahra University.Methodology: The methodology of the research, in the part of the literature review and theoretical literature, is library study and in the part of the analysis, is survey study (descriptive and analytic). The data were gathered through a researcher made questionnaire that contained 4 parts and 73 questions. The research population includes all of the postgraduate students (at M.A/M.Sc and PhD degrees) at Alzahra University whom are studying at this university during the educational year of 2011-2012. Based on the random sampling, 309 postgraduate students at M.A/M.Sc degree and 70 postgraduate students at PhD degree participated at this research.Findings: It should be noted that PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT of the postgraduate students has been studied under the factors of “attitude, knowledge and skill.” The research results represent that among the effective factors on PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT, the attitude average is 3.95, knowledge’s average is 3.29, and the skills set have the average of 3.17. Furthermore, the average of the three mentioned factors’ averages is about 3.47.Conclusion: The amount (3.47) indicates that the situation of PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT of postgraduate students at Alzahra University is at the upper to the average level. On the other hand, the situation of PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT by Ph.D. students is the same as M.A./M.Sc. students and this amount is around 3.47. Thus it can be said that there is no significant relation between PERSONAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT by Ph.D. students and M.A./M.Sc. students.
