Chelton & Cool's snapshot of research related to youth information seeking is diverse, inspiring, and, especially in its introduction, provocative.....--Pattee, Amy Library and Information Science Research, Vol. 29 (2007)

All those who are involved in the lives of children and teenagers such as professors, information behaviorists, teachers, librarians, researchers, computer specialists and parents will find this book revealing. Even booksellers would benefit from knowing, for example, what kind of genres teenagers are reading. Thus its appeal is to a wider audience than at first glance. It gleans the type of information that will help teachers, librarians and all those who work with children and teenagers become aware of the advancements in information retrieval. This is recommended for all school, academic and public libraries.--Mary Osorio Collection Building 2008
