信息搜索不是在真空中发生的,而是总是受到一些更广泛的任务的激励。人们普遍认为,要理解信息寻求,我们必须了解它发生的任务背景。写作是最常见的任务之一,其中嵌入了信息寻求。本文认为,如何写作可以理解,以考虑嵌入式信息寻求。Sharples之后,本文将写作视为一种设计活动,并探索设计心理学和信息寻求之间的相似之处。可以找到显着的相似之处,设计心理学的思想为许多信息寻求现象提供了解释。接下来,一个面向设计的表示的写作任务作为一种手段,提供了一个帐户的现象,如信息寻求不确定性和重点细化的开发。本文以描述报纸记者工作的情景来说明这种代表性。
Information seeking does not occur in a vacuum but invariably is motivated by some wider task. It is well accepted that to understand information seeking we must understand the task context within which it takes place. Writing is amongst the most common tasks within which information seeking is embedded. This paper considers how writing can be understood in order to account for embedded information seeking. Following Sharples, the paper treats writing as a design activity and explore parallels between the psychology of design and information seeking. Significant parallels can be found and ideas from the psychology of design offer explanations for a number of information seeking phenomena. Next, a design-oriented representation of writing tasks as a means of providing an account of phenomena such as information seeking uncertainty and focus refinement is developed. The paper illustrates the representation with scenarios describing the work of newspaper journalists.
