Competency #5B: Specific Facet Search in ASC with Reflection

Again, my topic is helping emergent readers use the library to further their reading abilities and interests. I used the specific facet first search strategy and the Academic Search Complete database. I used "emergent reader" as my specific facet. I got 38 hits.

The fifth hit was relevant.

Given my experience in frustration with the building block search, I felt certain that "emergent reader" would be the most specific facet of this search. It was. This search seemed easier for me. This experience left me feeling that I could do searches. When the topic is already very narrow, I think this is a good strategy to use.
