Competency 6b: Specific Facet

Search Query: school library and the reluctant reader

Database: Library Lit and Info.
Search:
school library reluctant readers = 44 hits
school libraryand reluctant readers = 53 hits
reluctant readers = 206 hits

First 2 results:

1 Newsmaker: Jon Scieszka. American Libraries v. 39 no. 5 (May 2008) p. 31

2 Rosenzweig, S. Books that hooked 'em: reluctant readers shine as critics [students at Rhode Island's Woonsocket Middle School recommend books for YALSA's Quick picks 1996]. American Libraries v. 27 (June/July 1996) p. 74-6

Reflection:
I started my search with the main facet "reluctant readers" which resulted to many hits (206)After narrowing my specific facet search I still had more than 30 hits but I decided to stop here and do a successive fractions search even though the hits seemed helpful it was to many to sort through.
