Abstract

Effective personal information management (PIM) abilities are essential in the current digital era for university librarians, who act as knowledge stewards in academic settings. The purpose of this study is to find out how well Pakistani university librarians use mobile devices for PIM. Information organization, data storage techniques, information retrieval, and mobile technology maintenance procedures are the main areas of attention for this study.

Mobile-based PIM makes use of cloud services, mobile apps, and web browsers to facilitate effective information access and management. Using a quantitative methodology, the study collects data from university librarians at public and private universities by means of surveys. The results shed light on the methods, obstacles, and tactics that librarians now use to manage personal data on mobile devices.

The purpose of this study is to improve university librarians' comprehension of mobile PIM skills and provide suggestions for strengthening their knowledge and adapting to changing technology needs in academic contexts.
