Abstract

In this position paper I share some experiences of researching in the area of Information Retrieval for Kids with a focus on my research in educational settings. I discuss some findings from my own work, highlight what I believe are some of the key under explored and unresolved issues in this field of research and point to some emerging challenges for children’s information seeking that the Kids and IR community might address in the coming years
