Understanding precisely how young people search for online information is both easy and frustrating. It's a snap because we can easily observe kids sitting down at a computer, going straight to Google, typing in one or two key words, and selecting a few Web pages from a huge list of hits. It's frustrating because of the many questions their searches raise in our minds. Why, for instance, do most students see one search engine as the answer to all of their information needs? How do children choose their search terms? What will it take for kids to develop more efficient information-hunting skills? A new book called Youth Information-Seeking Behavior: Theories, Models, and Issues (Scarecrow, 2004) offers some intriguing insights. Edited by Mary K. Chelton and Colleen Cool of Queens College in Flushing, NY, the collection of 13 research studies examines how young people (elementary-school students through high schoolers) find--or fail to find--relevant information.
