Youth Information Seeking Behavior II Context, Theories, Models, and Issues

This resource is as much a tribute to its editors and contributors, a cadre of champions who have made the study of this underrepresented group their lifework, as it is a testament to their unwavering respect for the young inquiring mind. Continuing the work of their earlier volume published in 2004, Mary K. Chelton and Colleen Cool begin this book with a historical overview of the literature on children's use and understanding of electronic information systems dating back to when these retrieval mechanisms were in their infancy. Chapters then provide a snapshot of the current research agenda, everyday life information seeking (ELIS), and the information seeking of youth in their role as students. The studies presented within Youth Information Seeking Behavoirs II are a must-read for researchers in the field and for students with an interest in the information seeking behaviors of youth.Chelton, Mary K. is the author of 'Youth Information Seeking Behavior II Context, Theories, Models, and Issues', published 2007 under ISBN 9780810856547 and ISBN 0810856549.
