Online inquiry activities are important for K-12 learners to explore substantive driving questions in different areas, especially science. However, the inquiry process is complex for learners who need extensive support to mindfully engage in these activities. We are addressing this with the Digital IdeaKeeper, a scaffolded work environment for online inquiry. While online inquiry includes many different activities (e.g., planning, information seeking, synthesis), this paper focuses on supporting learners with information analysis so they can effectively read and make sense of articles they find in digital libraries. Here we spotlight scaffolded notepads, which connect to articles learners are reading in a browser. Notepads support learners by connecting their goals to their reading, guiding reflection and articulation, and implementing a framework by which learners' notes and articles are linked, saved and viewed together to aid with more seamless information management.
