SummaryIntroduction
Recent studies on the development of multimedia services demonstrate that children and young adults are most likely to utilize these services (Kuhlthau, 1997). Because children from Kindergarten to high school typically find themselves in need of information, for both personal and academic growth, schools, parents and communities have an obligation to help students access information in a timely and relevant manner (Kuhlthau, 1988). Given the importance of providing students with the critical resources needed, it is imperative for community libraries to design and develop multimedia resources (Fasick, 1998a). Using this as a basis for inquiry, this report considers the planning of a multimedia room for children and young people in a local community library.
Design Brief. Background on Multimedia Rooms for Children and User Needs
Reviewing what has been written about the information needs of children and young adults, Kuhlthau (1997) reports that this segment of the population is one of the most avid when it comes to information gathering. According to Kuhlthau children require information for both academic projects and personal gratification.
