“…The researcher then introduced each child to the photo-elicitation activity (Rose, 2016) they were asked to complete at home, demonstrating the use of PixStori, an app used on loaned iPods to facilitate data collection. PixStori is a photography app that allows users to take a picture and record an accompanying audio message; this image and audio pair can be shared with others via email, social media or through a Web portal [see Barriage and Hicks (2020) for more information about the PixStori app]. Each child created one practice PixStori with the researcher to become familiar with the app.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore young children’s information practices within the context of their individual interests, examining children’s interest-related information activities, challenges encountered and enablers received. Design/methodology/approach Participants included 18 children between five and seven years of age and their parents. Data were collected using a multi-stage participatory approach. Children shared their experiences via a book discussion, poster activity, participant-generated photography and a photo-elicitation interview. Parents provided information about family demographics and their perceptions of their children’s individual interests, information practices and digital media use via questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method. Findings Young children seek information via print and digital objects, other people and experiences, and use information by applying it to their activities and sharing information with others. Challenges to information activities include children’s own capabilities and skills, constraints of information sources and parental restrictions on their activities. Enablers include affordances of technology and parental support. Originality/value This study takes a holistic approach to understanding young children’s perspectives of their information activities, examining information use and sharing activities in addition to information seeking.

“…A variety of participatory and non-participatory visual methods have come into common use in the social sciences, and many are being taken up in LIS (see, for example, Pollak, 2017). Participatory visual methods allow research participants to make visible aspects of information work that are significant to them (e.g., Barriage & Hicks, 2020;Hicks, 2018;Hicks & Lloyd, 2018;Hultgren, 2007;Julien, Given, & Opryshko, 2013;Polkinghorne, 2018;Rivano Eckerdal, 2013). Nicole used participatory visual methods, embedding an information world mapping exercise within each interview.…”
