Child and Family WebGuide

The Child & Family WebGuide was created in April 2001, by faculty at the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University and librarians at Tisch Library, also at Tufts. The Eliot-Pearson Department has a 75-year history of studying, teaching and fostering the well being of children. The Tisch Library participates in the educational and research programs of Arts, Sciences and Technology at Tufts University by facilitating access to relevant information. Funding for the collaboration between the Eliot-Pearson Department and the library was provided by a grant from the Berger Family Endowment Technology Transfer Award, from December 1999 to March 2001. Since its unveiling, the WebGuide has continued to add topics and features. From April 2001 to March 2003 the number of topics increased from 40 to 100. New features such as Ask an Expert and Research News were added in April 2003 at which time the site was completely re-designed. Simultaneously, the WebGuide staff has been engaged in research on parents' and professionals' preferences for information (e.g. topics, features and site design). The expansion and redesign of the WebGuide, as well as the research, were generously funded by a grant from the William T. Grant Foundation beginning in September 2001 and continuing today.
