Abstract
Structured interviews with teachers in Kuwait indicated that they were well aware of the role of information in learning and teaching activities. Teachers make use of a variety of information sources and keep important information for future use employing different categories and structured folders. They regularly use social media and personal information management tools in their information gathering activities. However, they are not regular in managing their personal collections of information. Teachers reported that they experienced anxiety as a result of fragmentation and information overload and expressed interest in receiving training to enhance their personal information management skills.
