What is An Empirical Study of Children's Source Use for Internet Searches about?

## Abstract This poster reports on an empirical study on children's source use for their Internet searches. A group of third‐ and fifth‐grade students participated in this study over a 15‐week period, during which the students conducted Internet searches for their schoolwork as part of their curriculum. Data were gathered using screen captures and three rounds of post‐search interviews. Students in this study were allowed to use various Internet sources for their searches. Findings of this study shed light on how children come across, select, and use various Internet sources to meet their information needs for schoolwork and how such use changes over time as they gain more Internet experience.
