Competency 6: Specific Facet Search

My query for this search was "What tools can librarians use to encourage students to read for pleasure?" Once I took out the stop terms and non-content terms I was left with the facets, "tools" and "librarians" and "encourage students" and "read for pleasure." From those facets I selected "reading for pleasure" as my specific facet. I used LibLit as my database and once I entered my specific facet and it yielded 78 hits.


From those 78 hits I felt hit number 20 realted to my orignal query.

Braxton, B. Encouraging Students to Read for Pleasure. Teacher Librarian v. 31 no. 3 (February 2004) p. 39-40.

LibLit yielded serval relevant hits, and also had a "new search by subject" section which is very helpful in producing more hits that spoke to my orginal query. Overall I thought LibLit was very user friendly.
