Creative Search: Using Search to Leverage Your Everyday Creativity
Pages 366 - 368
Abstract
By highlighting the values of creativity to a society and individuals, we argue the importance of investigating people's daily creativity and the necessity of designing user interfaces to support the creative process. In this paper, moreover, we propose a dissertation study to examine people's creative process in the context of information search. The implications of this research will inform the future design of a novel search interface for supporting people's creativity.
