Information Literacy (IL) and Personal Information Management (PIM) are two closely related and overlapping concepts. However, most of the existing IL models and standards do not put adequate emphasis on relevant PIM skills. This paper provides an overview of different PIM techniques and discusses their relationship with IL competencies. Proper integration of PIM techniques and tools into IL skills is likely to further strengthen competency level of an information literate person, resulting in saving time, effort and resources. This integration can also help overcome the problems of information overload and information fragmentation. This paper argues that information literacy training programs need to expand their scope by incorporating appropriate PIM skills to provide a more comprehensive skill set to their information users.
