儿童和青少年寻求信息,以支持他们的学校学习活动和休闲活动。他们继续使用书籍和杂志等传统信息来源,但在为教育或娱乐目的寻求信息时,越来越多地转向互联网。本文讨论了他们在面对电子和印刷品来源时的信息寻求行为。特别是,它侧重于信息来源的选择、检索战略(搜索和浏览)和年轻用户采用的信息评价技术,以及通过适当设计的界面等方式向他们提供的技术支持。它借鉴了与年轻人有关的信息寻求理论,儿童和青少年信息寻求行为的研究,以及针对年轻用户的实验和操作信息系统。
Children and adolescents seek information both to support their school-based learning activities and their leisure activities. They continue to use traditional information sources such as books and magazines, but increasingly turn towards the Internet when seeking information for either educational or recreational purposes. This article discusses their information-seeking behavior when confronting both electronic and print sources. In particular it focuses upon the source selection, retrieval strategies (searching and browsing) and information evaluation techniques adopted by young users, as well as the technological support that can be offered them through, for example, appropriately designed interfaces. It draws upon information-seeking theories as they relate to young people, research studies of information-seeking behaviors among children and adolescents, and experimental and operational information systems targeted at young users.
