The psychosocial development in the first stages of life is analyzed to show how the psychological and psychosocial factors must be taken into account in the design of information systems, and, particularly, of digital libraries for children and teenagers. It is concluded that three aspects are of critical importance: content, the perceptual and symbolic characteristics of the interface, and the communication tools. Specific tips in each area are provided. Finally, it is concluded that a correlation exists among the main trends in psychosocial development —individuation and socialization— and two of the main tendencies in information systems design —personalization and social interaction—; so, it can be affirmed that they form together a privileged field for interdisciplinary research.Downloads
