In 2006 it was transferred to the San Jose State School of Library and Information Science, and was subsequently refocused for grades 4-9, ages 10-14, post-reading, and pre-adult reading level phases. This article describes three parts of the redesign project-content, interface, and back end – explains methods and procedures, and analyzes results. Finally, we list lessons learned and recommendations for using graduate students on long term projects “across time and space.”  \nKidsClick! ([www.kidsclick.org](www.kidsclick.org)) is a directory of websites organized by subject and offers easy access toa controlled set of 5,400+ resources selected by librarians to meet the needs of young users. It was started by a group of librarians in The Ramapo Catskill Library System (RCLS) in Middletown, New York, with a $12,000 grant from the Library Services and Technology Act in 1997. Development and maintenance then transferred to the Colorado State Library and Department of Education in June, 2001 (Crotty, 2007) . In 2003 KidsClick! earned a Top Twenty rating for its variety of search methods, relatively clear navigation, age appropriate material, and lack of advertising (Haycock, Dober, & Edwards, 2003) . In addition Danny Sullivan's Search Engine Watch in 2005 included [KidsClick.org](KidsClick.org) in a list of\"major children’s directories that filter websites to include those best suited to the younger audience\"(Crotty, 2007, p. 1) .  \nDuring the spring of 2006, San Jose School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) purchased [KidsClick.org. Although](KidsClick.org. Although) the website averaged 59,000 hits and 3,000 unique visitors a day, their vision was to modernize the search tool and change its primary audience. The initial application for a California State University (CSU) research grant, subsequently funded, stated: “The purpose of this application is to apply research-based principles to the evaluation, selection and organization of web resources, specifically for young people ages 10-14, and to design an ageappropriate portal, subject directory and search engine.”  \nThe KidsClick! redesign project started in February, 2007. The objectives ofthe project to refocus the target audience fell into four groups as follows:  \nUnder the Hood  \n• Update the technology.  \n• Add web 2.0 interactivity and features. Design  \n• Create a modern interface that appeals to ages 10-14, grades 4-9.  \nContent  \n• Limit the scope of the site to ages 10-14, grades 4-9.  \nFuture Services  \n• Add a spell checker.  \n• Publish an automated weekly newsletter.  \n• Investigate use of Spanish language sites.  \n• Include relevance and rankings of search results.  \n• Include user recommendations.  \n• Establish evaluation criteria for websites.  \nRedesign objectives focused on youth with post-ability to read, pre-adult reading, and search engine ability, in part because this group was under-represented by search engines and directories targeting youth (Haycock, 2006) . An assumption was that teachers, librarians, and parents for these students will also use the website.  \nIn addition to refocusing the target audience, a second major category of goals centered on using graduate students to:  \n• Evaluate and categorize the websites in the collection.  \n• Assign readability levels to each selected website.  \n• Design an age-appropriate and appealing search engine portal.  \n• Market the website to professionals as well as parents and students.  \n• Develop assessment tools to assess the effectiveness of the redesign.  \nEducation Libraries: Childrens Resources,Volume 31, No.1, Spring 2008 51  \nSkills relating to these tasks are taught at the School ([http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/classes/coursedesc.htm](http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/classes/co","cbCaivAaSFFnOPWM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivAaSFFnOPWM","pdf",185119,"English","# Abstract\n## KidsClick! background and purpose\n## Redesign goals and target audience\n## Redesign objectives and graduate-student roles\n## Redesign procedures: organization and tasks","[{\"question\":\"What is KidsClick! and who is it designed for?\",\"answer\":\"KidsClick! is a web-based instructional directory for K-12 learners.
