Competency #5- Databases- Browsing Search Strategy




In LibLit I used the Browsing strategy. In the LibLit's Thesaurus I entered in reference librarians but found way too many hits. I also search for young adult reference librarians, but retrieved to few hits.I revised my search by entering in young adult librarians. Then I clicked on young adult librarians-aims and objectives. This led to five records that were extremely helpful. This strategy is effective, but time consuming. I had to know exactly what term to enter to find what I was looking for, but LibLit made browsing as a search strategy more effective by offering suggestions.
