Information and Emotion introduces the new research areas of affective issues in information Seeking and use, and the affective paradigm applied to information behavior in a variety of populations, cultures, and contexts. The book's editors and authors are information behavior researchers at the forefront of charting the emotional quality of the information environment. Collectively, their Contributions make Information and Emotion a unique source of research findings on the user perspective, the user experience, and how emotional aspects can be interpreted, mitigated, or enhanced through design that is informed by use, and by users who directly participate in information design.
