4. 22. Shaping thought through action : A study of the use and design of technical information

   Author : Jonatan Lundin; Yvonne Eriksson; Carina Söderlund; Inger Orre; Harald Schaub; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : This dissertation deals with the design of technical information, such as a user manual for an industrial device, based on the searching and reading behaviour of process operators and maintenance technicians.
