Developing a website directory for young people: A case study using graduate students in library and information science

KidsClick! is a web-based instructional resource designed for K-12. In 2006 it was transferred to the San Jose State School of Library and Information Science, and was subsequently refocused for grades 4-9, ages 10-14, post-reading, and pre-adult reading level phases. This article describes three parts of the redesign project - content, interface, and back end – explains methods and procedures, and analyzes results. Finally, we list lessons learned and recommendations for using graduate students on long term projects “across time and space.”
