In this volume, author Tim Gorichanaz seeks to re-frame the
discussion of information engagement through the lens of
information experience, an exciting emerging area within
information science. Unlike traditional information behavior
research, which is limited to how people need, seek, and search for
information, information experience looks at how people understand,
use, and are shaped by information. In this way, information
experience connects with other human-centered areas of information
research and design, including information literacy and
human-computer interaction. Split into three parts, Information
Experience in Theory and Design presents a multifaceted
investigation of information experience, centered around the themes
of understanding, self, and meaning. Part One (Understanding)
explores the link between information, understanding and
questioning; how moral change arises from information; and how to
design for understanding. Part Two (Self) explores the concept of
the human self as information; the links between information,
identity and society; and how to design for self-care. Finally,
Part Three (Meaning) explores the connection between information
and meaning; how meaning and craft contribute to the good life; and
how to design for meaning. Offering a rigorous theoretical
foundation for information experience and insights for design,
Gorichanaz brings together research from across the information
field as well as philosophy. For researchers or students in any
area of the information field, from librarianship to human-computer
interaction, this is an exciting new text investigating a
fascinating new field of study.
