Children's Use of an Interactive Science Library: Exploratory Research.
Borgman, Christine L.; And Others – School Library Media Quarterly, 1990
Describes a prototype interactive science catalog for children that will have three interfaces: a subject-oriented browsing search, a search tied directly to science simulations, and an author/title/subject keyword searchable interface. Research plans include examinations of children's abilities to formulate and implement searchable queries and…
