Using Internet Metasites to Foster Teenage Girls' Interest in Technology

Around the world, girls do not have equal access to technology either physically or intellectually. School library programs are uniquely positioned to address this issue by promoting Internet sites where girls can use technology. Providing relevant and attractive Web sites for girls has interested education, organizations, and business in recent years. Because thousands of Web sites target teenage female audiences, the focus of this research was metasites or directories of public Web sites that would link to sites on technology for teenage girls. These metasites and other Web sites that support teenage girls' knowledge and involvement in technology are analyzed.
