Understanding the Everyday Use of Images on the Web
NordiCHI 2010
This paper presents a qualitative study of domestic Web-based
image use, and specifically asks why users access
images online. This work is not limited to image search per
se, but instead aims to understand holistically the
circumstances in which images are accessed through Web-based
tools. As such, we move beyond the existing
information seeking literature, and instead provide
contextual examples of image use as well as an analysis of
both how and why images are used…This paper presents a qualitative study of domestic Web-based
