Oliver, Ron; Oliver, Helen
British Journal of Educational Technology, v27 n1 p33-44 Jan 1996
Describes an investigation of the search strategies employed by novice users of an interactive information system. A class of 12-year-old students was instructed in use of an electronic encyclopedia, which they used as an information source for projects and to complete skills tests. Students employed inefficient search strategies and had difficulty creating search requests for information-related problems. (Author/JKP)
