SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION CONCEPTS RETR...

Searching the Internet and the ability to competently use search engines are increasingly
becoming an important part of children's daily lives. Whether mobile or at home  children use
search interfaces to explore personal interests  complete academic assignments  and have social
interaction. However  engaging with search also means engaging with an ever-changing and
evolving search landscape. There are continual software updates  multiple devices used to
search (e.g.  phones  tablets)  an increasing use of social media  and constantly updated
Internet content. For young searchers  this can require infinite adaptability or mean being
hopelessly confused. This book offers a perspective centered on children's search experiences
as a whole instead of thinking of search as a process with separate and potentially problematic
steps. Reading the prior literature with a child-centered view of search reveals that children
have been remarkably consistent over time as searchers  displaying the same search strategies
regardless of the landscape of search. However  no research has synthesized these consistent
patterns in children's search across the literature  and only recently have these patterns been
uncovered as distinct search roles  or searcher types. Based on a four-year longitudinal study
on children's search experiences  this book weaves together the disparate evidence in the
literature through the use of 9 search roles for children ages 7-15. The search role framework
has a distinct advantage because it encourages adult stakeholders to design children's search
tools to support and educate children at their existing levels of search strength and deficit 
rather than expecting children to adapt to a transient search landscape.
