Still, the I.M.F. was inundated with paper, and Sellen and Harper wanted to find out why. Paper, in their opinion, has a quality that allows a certain type of use: it is flexible.
It is tangible: you can pick up a document, turn the pages, read a little here and there and quickly get a feeling for it. Paper is also spatially flexible, i.e. it can be distributed and arranged in any way. Suits you. It is tailor-made: you can simply comment on the original text without changing it, or browse and read the document.
Anyone who knows nothing about Helena Heraldova's work in the area of working papers or the history of paper in general probably knows nothing about her work. She lives in Moscow, researches beautiful objects, publishes new works and designs exhibitions. If you contact Dr. Heraldovas through her website, she would be happy if you could contact her by email or on her Facebook page.
I hope you get the chance to see it and encourage anyone who can get there safely to do just that. In what is known as a high-quality impact assessment, it sets out what needs to happen next.
The lack of rigorous assessment has surprised the public, especially in the case of social media, which I spoke to at the Society of Professional Journalists " annual meeting last year. My team and I conducted a study on the impact of publishing social franchises with more permissive inclusion criteria, published by the Social Media Policy Institute, a nonprofit advocacy group.
It has become the subject of numerous research planning meetings and has been used to generate research funds for testing interventions.
Sellen and Harper, to whom much reference has been made, argue that knowledge workers use the physical space of the desktop to store ideas that they cannot yet categorize, or even decide how to use them. This may be a sign of complexity, but Kidd writes that many people he talks to use their desks to recover from complex threads that arise from difficulties or delays, such as when they arrive on a Monday morning and their work is interrupted by a phone call. For example, those who process many unresolved ideas at the same time can sort and store the papers on their desks to sort and store them on the way to the next session.

When a group at Apple Computer studied stacking behavior a few years ago, they found that even the most disordered stacks usually made perfect sense for a stack, and that office workers could capture them in great detail. A well-stocked work area, such as a desk in the conference room, is generally your most urgent business. The coverage of the rest of the desktop is probably a good indicator of the importance of a particular document to you and your colleagues. And if you pile them all up, the "most important" documents are likely to be at the top.
By stacking certain pieces of paper at an angle or inserting partitions between stacks, you can insert references to a particular document into the file. Some economists bring draft reports to the conference room, spread out the relevant pages, and negotiate changes with each other. When you get there, it's broken, so you have to break it every time and break it again.
I go back to the office and write down comments, taking advantage of the freedom that informal handwriting offers. At the end of this process, the author spreads the pages with the comments on his desk and starts typing them into the computer and moving them during his work. After he has gone through page by page of proposed amendments, I will give him a draft with comments.
