Competency 6: Databases/Successive Fractions Search



For this search I used the Academic Search Complete database.

I was told to begin with the largest facet first: I used librar* = 516,980 hits
I narrowed the search by using elementary or middle school library = 7,327 hits
I narrowed by adding a third facet media activities = 598 hits
I knew this was still large, but I added limits of full text only and that narrowed it to 76 hits.
76 full text articles was workable.

I found this article applicable to my search:

Fontichiaro, K., Buczynski, S. (2009, March). Connecting Science Notebooking to the Elementary Library Media Center. School Library Media Activities 25, 7 24-29.
