Please send a key question/thought that you have about these papers and this topic to Marc, Henry, and James by Thursday night, or very very early Friday morning at the latest.

• Evaluation is one of the most challenging issues in PIM. One model that has been tossed about would build on the approached used by the TREC SPAM track in 2005-2007. Look that track's information up and get some understanding of the mechanism for evaluation. The results themselves are not important for this discussion (though they're interesting in and of themselves). TREC proceedings are on-line and much material is on the organizer's Web page. Since this seminar is on advanced IR, you ought to be able to find the information...

• Stuff I've Seen. This paper is strongly recommended and should be particularly easy to zip through since you have some good context from Sue Dumais' talk last week.

• The Perfect Search Engine is Not Enough
• A Personal Health Information Management System

• Stuff I've Seen
• Resource Fragmentation
