Literature research has so far been limited mainly to a keyword search via Google Scholar and the ACM Digital Library. Terms used: hybrid records, record management, document management, document tracking, file tracking, records tracking, electronic records management Criteria: only contributions published after 2006 Only contributions in scientific format (no advertisements for solutions from the business world). Excluded were results from the medical field (patient records), patents and contributions that have no reference to paper files, e.g. those that deal with information retrieval in a narrow sense. Furthermore, Personal Information Management (PIM) solutions have not been considered so far.

Findings: Up to now, a large number of currently described solutions are based on the use of RFID tags for tracking paper (files). Although the motivations for using RFID differ, the process for implementing such a system is similar in the different projects. Previously found works mostly deal only with the (technical) implementation of the system, rarely with the evaluation of such systems or the user experience. First results suggest that the benefits of document tracking systems are particularly striking in developing countries.
