Competency #6-Citation Pearl; LibLit

For the third part of the 6th competency, I am choosing to utilize the citation pearl search strategy while searching the LibLit database. The following screen shots show my initial search of readers advisory which produced 224 results.


After reviewing the results, I decided to add public libraries to my initial search in an attempt to narrow the results. The next 2 screen shots show the search which produced 94 results.


Finally in another attempt to narrow my search, I again reviewed the results and decided to add fiction to the search. The next 2 screen shots will show my search which produced 22 results.


The final screen shot is of the 5th hit which is a thesis about promoting fiction collections by using different library web-sites. This is another tool that successful readers' advisors can use to promote this service.
