Title
Learning in Digital Libraries: An Information Search Process Approach
Abstract
THIS ARTICLE DISCUSSES A CONSTRUCTIVIST approach to information age learning environments for children and teenagers, particularly as students in schools. An intervention role for librarians is described for guiding and coaching students in the stages of the information search process (ISP) using the abundant resources of digital libraries. Five strategies for coaching students in the ISP-collaborating, continuing, conversing, charting, and composing-are recommended for adaptation to electronic environments. A theory for creating learning environments in digital libraries is presented based on the concepts in the constructivist approach of acting and reflecting, feeling and formulating, predicting and choosing, and interpreting and creating.
