“…composing a paper over the course of a few months). Given this ubiquity of search and the variety of search tasks, it is important that we think of children as we design search engines for them -not only remembering the developmental and cognitive levels of children, but also thinking of the whole child including the social and affective implications of search design [4,23].…”

Since its creation, the Cooperative Inquiry method of designing technology with and for children has been refined, expanded, and sometimes questioned. Cooperative Inquiry has been adopted and used widely throughout the world and continues to evolve and grow to meet current needs. This paper examines the origins of Cooperative Inquiry, discusses how it has changed since its original inception, and clarifies the intent of its techniques. This paper concludes by presenting how Cooperative Inquiry can support designing with and for today's international, independent, interactive, and information active children in the context of the developing world, mobile computing, social computing, and the ubiquity of search.

“…Many studies in information science examine children and young people's information behaviors, including technology use (Bilal, 2005;Cooper, 2002;Danby, Mallan, & Butler, 2010;Dresang, 2005;Foss et al, 2012;Spink, Large, Nesset, & Beheshti, 2008). Similarly, many large-scale studies document the reach of technology in young people's lives, particularly for older children.…”

Highlights Young children engage with technology in artistic play, socio-dramatic play and literacy/numeracy.  Everyday life information seeking (ELIS) way of life and mastery of life are modeled in children's activities.  Video data provide a glimpse into technology use by young children in their homes. AbstractResearch on how young children use information to orient themselves in daily life and to solve problems (known as everyday life information seeking or ELIS) has not been conducted, indepth, in information science. This exploratory observation study examines how 15 Australian preschool children (aged three to five) used information technologies in their homes to orient themselves in daily life and to solve problems. Children engaged in various ways with the digital technologies available to them and with parents and siblings during play activities. The results explore the value of artistic play, sociodramatic play, and early literacy and numeracy activities in shaping young children's 'way of life' and 'mastery of life' as outlined in Savolainen's (1995) ELIS model. Observed technology engagement provided an opportunity to explore children's social worlds and the ways that they gathered information during technology play that will inform future learning activities and support child development. By using ELIS theory as an analytic lens, the results demonstrate how children's developmental play with technology tools helps them to internalize social and cultural norms. The data also point to the type of capital available to children and how that capital contributes to children's emerging information practices.

“…Arnone, Reynolds, and Marshall (2009) report on the value of affect in terms of valuing information and information skills. Bilal (2005), in a study on children's information seeking and the design of digital interfaces in the affective paradigm, notes that research reveals that affect imparts directionality to cognition, which in turn influences actions. Miller and Wallis (2011), using relational agency theory, report on the education of information professionals empathic to social interaction between information professionals and their clients.…”

Purpose -A previous contribution (Fourie, 2013) argues in favour of a balance in emphasis between information communication technology (ICT); information retrieval systems (IRS) such as databases, library catalogues, repositories, Google Scholar, digital libraries, portals, search engines; and, the users of these systems. This contribution pursues the need to consider affect and an affective paradigm more prominently in the design, evaluation, promotion and use of IRS and library and information services (LIS).Design/methodology/approach -The contribution is written against the background of research in information behaviour, user studies, systems design, and information literacy.Findings -Although the literature from LIS and other disciplines notes an affective paradigm or even paradigms, it is not strongly positioned compared with the systems and cognitive paradigms. A growing body of research and work practices such as information representation and tagging, and information skills training, is taking a slant towards affect and emotion. The question, however, is whether current work is sufficient to argue for an affective paradigm complimentary to the systems, cognitive and socio-cognitive paradigms, and how an affective paradigm should be introduced in training/education for LIS.Originality/value -Although there are a number of publications on affect and emotion, and references to an affective paradigm, this contribution is aimed at stimulating thought on whether we should prominently introduce the affective paradigm into LIS curricula as preparation for adding more value to IRS, library services, and in dealing with emotion-laden jobs, and if so, how.
