I had lots of email saved that I wanted to be able to refer back to. I thought virtual computer space was supposed to replace hard paper copies. Oops, I was wrong. After carefully adding to my folders I had to go back in and delete all the emails with attachments! What a pain if you want to keep information. I ended up revising my theories on keeping files. My new theory is that if the information hasn't been saved to Harriet or a supervisor hasn't saved it to the p-drive, it really isn't important. I have now deleted thousands of emails or redirected them to my personal email account. For the time being I am keeping my organizational folders even if they are empty until I am sure I won't be using them.
I go through my old emails periodically during my down time at circ or in the drive-thru. There are always slow periods throughout the year for major weeding.
