Sandlian, Pam

School Library Journal, v41 n7 p22-25 Jul 1995

Describes a project at the Denver Public Library (Colorado) called "Kid's Catalog" that involved creating a child-oriented online catalog with a graphical user interface. The catalog's software is designed to search, make cognitive links, and present a list of materials. Research was conducted at the library and three elementary schools to evaluate and test the project. (AEF)
