From Dewey to Mosaic

Examines the characteristics of bibliographic information retrieval systems, particularly online public access systems, in terms of the difficulties children have in using them. The specialized focus of library and information science, the highly abstract nature of bibliographic representation, and the evolving cognitive development of children are all contributing factors to these difficulties. Describes recent research and development in interface design, followed by implications for the design of Internet navigators. The new generation of Internet browsers can give students the ability not only to search for information, but also to create and disseminate information using the same medium. Such capacity adds a significant dimension and new meaning to the concept of information retrieval. Concludes that thoughtful and developmentally appropriate interface design is critical to the success of children′s use of this powerful new resource
