Abstract:
|
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for creative information
seeking drawing upon Weisberg’s argument that creativity exists in
everyone, and mapping the creative process described in the holistic model
of creativity to the information seeking activities identified in the
behavioural model of information seeking. Using scenarios of information
seeking behaviour, mappings between the creative process and the
information seeking activities were refined and six stages for creative
information seeking were proposed. These scenarios were also used to
provide theoretical justifications for each stage in creative information
seeking.
Evidence gathered from the scenarios seemed to indicate that the type of
information seeking task may have an impact on the extent to which the
information seeker exhibits all stages in the framework. This is on-going
research. Part II of this paper aims to conduct empirical studies and gather
evidence to verify the framework and examine this observation in more
detail. |
