Abstract

Due to the recent technological improvements, the environments of e-books and its contents have been changed and the users of e-books have drastically increased. This study aimed to propose a model on how children access and search e-books in this digital era. For this study, a potential model was proposed based on the analyses on various information-seeking behavior models. For analyzing children's access and search processes on e-books, 30 children in five public libraries or school media centers in Seoul and Kyoungi-do areas were recruited for the in-depth interviews. As a potential model on children's access and search on e-books was re-visited and revised based on the results, a cyclic model of children's access and search on e-books was proposed containing six factors.
