Competency 6: Building Block Search Strategy

In the LibLit, H W Wilson database, I began my search for information regarding the role of a school librarian and project based learning in schools. My first search: s1 (project or inquiry) and s2 based, and s3 learning. 118 hits were retrieved. I decided to narrow it down more. I modified the search to reflect s1 (project or inquiry) and s2 based and s3 learning and schools. I kept the () around project and inquiry since the words are used interchangeably. I added schools to focus on school media. 60 hits were retrieved. Building Block search strategy returned many relevant hits and made it possible for me to narrow down my search. However, some of the information was not relevant to the topic and was retrieved due to the word school was in the journal's name.
