Developing a Website Directory for Young People: A Case Study Using Graduate Students in Library and Information Science
Irwin, Enid; Haycock, Ken
Education Libraries, v31 n1 p51-60 Spr 2008
KidsClick! is a web-based instructional resource designed for K-12. In 2006 it was transferred to the San Jose State School of Library and Information Science, and was subsequently refocused for grades 4-9, ages 10-14, post-reading, and pre-adult reading level phases. This article describes three parts of the redesign project--content, interface, and back end--explains methods and procedures, and analyzes results. Finally, we list lessons learned and recommendations for using graduate students on long term projects "across time and space." (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
