Personal, anticipated information need

“The role of personal information collections is a well known feature of personal information management. The World Wide Web has introduced to such collections ideas such as filing Web pages or noting their existence in ‘Bookmarks’ and ‘Favourites’. It is suggested that personal information collections are created in anticipation of some future need for that information-personal, anticipated information need, which also underlies the design of formal information systems.” (Harry Bruce – Information Research 10.3)
