COMP 4-LITLAB W/ SPECIFIC FACET & SUCCESSIVE FRACTION STRATEGIES

LibLit and Specific Facet First, with Successive Fraction Strategy. I thought I would get a limited number of hits in LibLit with less noise because it is so specific about libraries. It was less than in other databases, but still a lot.

The search query is brain-based instructional strategies in school libraries. School libraries and teaching are more general than brain or cognition, so I used it first.

The specific face I chose was (brain or cognition) which received 1254 hits. That's a lot. So I added the second facet, (school librar or media center) and narrowed the set to 247 hits.

When I added the third facet (teaching or instruction), which gave me 104 hits. The first thirty look generally pertinent. There are some convention reports that do not seem to relate, and a some articles seem too technical, but there are many like the one below.

I really appreciate how the strategy helps the researcher to narrow the set of hits.

This one looks so good:
