Competency #5- Databases- Successive Fraction Strategy





In the Eric Database I used the Successive Fraction strategy. I searched first for young adult which led to too many records. I then added reference which narrowed my results considerably. I then used ERIC's database to narrow my results by subject and clicked on “library services”. This too, narrowed my results considerably and I found a very helpful and useful article on young adult library services. This strategy worked very well and was extremely efficient. It led me to my results with very little time and effort on my part. The success of the strategy might actually be more attributed to ERIC's database
