Abstract

A comparison of creative and “noncreative” research chemists with respect to the ways in which they use their professional and technical literature. The creative chemists differ from the “noncreative” in that the former read more technical literature on the job, are less reluctant to use literature of greater reading difficulty, are less influenced in their independence of thought, read more extensively and consult more frequently the older material, are more inquisitive and have broader cultural interests. The findings of the study are believed to be helpful in planning library and information services, in refining future inquiries into the ways in which scientists use recorded information, and in improving tests for the identification of creative ability among chemists.
信息收集模式和创造力:工业研究实验室中研究化学家的研究
创造性和“非创造性”研究化学家在使用专业和技术文献的方式方面的比较。创造性化学家与“非创造性化学家”的不同之处在于,前者在工作中阅读更多的技术文献,不太愿意使用阅读难度更高的文献,在独立思考方面受到的影响更小,阅读更广泛,更频繁地查阅旧材料,更好奇,有更广泛的文化兴趣。这项研究的发现被认为有助于规划图书馆和信息服务,改进未来对科学家使用记录信息方式的调查,以及改进鉴定化学家创造力的测试。
