Librarians and teachers are often called upon to select and recommend websites, CD-ROMs, and other electronic information resources for young people, a task that can be very difficult without an understanding of what aspects of these resources appeal to and repel young users. This course is intended to facilitate that evaluation and recommendation process by helping you to understand how young people interact with and evaluate digital information.  This is largely a reading course, requiring you to read the foundational works and core research in youth electronic information behaviors and preferences, including works from library science, information science, and gender studies.  Major assignments will include a related research project and a Web-based annotated bibliography of recommended websites for young people.
