Abstract

Using 35 articles published in JASIST between 1985 and 2005, we present the first level of our analysis of the themes we found in respect to the representation of young people as subjects of information science research. It is our general finding that the developmental approach to childhood remains dominant.

Utilisant 35 articles publiés dans JASIST de 1985 et 2005, nous présentons le premier niveau de notre analyse sur les thèmes que nous avons rencontrés concernant la représentation des jeunes en tant que sujets dans la recherche en sciences de l’information. Le principal résultat est que l’approche liée au développement de l’enfance continue de dominer.
