摘要：The selection of relevant information and its effective management
is not a simple task and requires specific competencies. This study is
aimed at exploring the competency of university students with
regards to personal information management (PIM). The objective is
to identify the problems in PIM and to provide a framework for
improving it. For this study, the sample consisted of 400 undergraduate students
randomly selected from a large public-sector university in Islamabad. The data
were collected through a questionnaire with closed and open-ended items. The
closed-ended items were analyzed through cross tabs and Chi square tests to find
a relationship between specific PIM competencies in different programs. The
questionnaire items helped in acquiring information about students’ specific
competencies in PIM were categorized as ‘low’, ‘moderate’ and ‘high’
competency. The students identified the problems they faced in PIM and
suggested ways for improving it. The findings of this study will help in improving
organization and application of information, and also in exploring further avenues
of research in improving PIM skills of university students in the developing
countries.
