Yahooligans

[A. W. Helfman]

>I am using all available personal time for this project (as indeed

>Yahooligans might be adequate in a children's room; extended
>testing (to give you a nutshell pre-preliminary report)  shows that
>it isn't much of a research tool.  The question of what a child is
>was also raised by two youth service librarians; if you are
>planning to use something like Yahooligans for teens,  you may
>want to look carefully at our Yahooligans test results.  


        As one of the volunteers who looked at Yahooligans for Karen's
project, I would add that Yahooligans' own guidelines (available online)
state that they link to sites they consider to be appropriate for children
between the ages of seven and twelve.
