ABSTRACT

As more information resources become accessible using computers, our digital interfaces to those resources need to be appropriate for all people. However, digital library interfaces have typically been designed for older children or adults. In this demonstration, we present SearchKids, a digital library interface developmentally appropriate for young children (age 5-10 years old). SearchKids offers a graphical interface for querying, browsing and reviewing search results.
