English abstract

This article probes the motivation of librarians to develop public library Websites for young adults. What young adult information needs did they target? Were teenagers involved in creating and updating the site? How was the site promoted to teenagers? What barriers had to be overcome in the creation and maintenance of the site? Connections are drawn between the findings of this study and research about teens and their Internet use. Related implications for Website development are discussed, with an emphasis on the need for librarians to not only acknowledge teens’ developmental needs but to take into consideration their expectations of Web technologies

Spanish abstract

Este artículo analiza la motivación de los bibliotecarios en crear páginas web en las bibliotecas públicas dirigidas específicamente a los adolescentes. ¿Qué necesidades de información intentaban satisfacer? ¿Participaban los adolescentes en la creación y mantenimiento de las páginas web? ¿Cómo se promocionaban estas páginas web para que los adolescentes las conocieran? ¿Qué obstáculos tuvieron que superar en la creación y el mantenimiento de estas páginas? Se establecen relaciones entre los resultados de este estudio y las investigaciones que existen los jóvenes y el uso que éstos hacen de Internet. Se presentan algunas conclusiones para el desarrollo de páginas web resaltando la necesidad que los bibliotecarios tienen no sólo de conocer las necesidades específicas de la adolescencia sino también de tener en cuenta lo que los jóvenes esperan de la tecnología web.
