Competency 6: Successive Fraction Search

In my successive fraction search, I used the database WorldCat. I used the broadest facet first, which was "reading for pleasure." I recieved 1, 268 hits.

Then I narrowed my search by added 2 more facets, "encourage children" NOT "teenagers." I also limited my hits by language and asked for the hits to only come back in English. I recieved only 12 hits.

From the 12 hits I chose, Influencing reading motivation and attitudes : classroom factors that encourage third graders to read for pleasure by: Kamela Marin Garcia. 2002

I found this database to be extremely helpful because it has several different ways you can narrow down a search. I also liked this search as well because it helped me to think of ways to narrow down my search to get more specific topics to my query.
