Using the successive fraction search strategy in the ERIC database, I began with my concept: s1 project based learning and s2 school. This search resulted in 198 hits. Next, I applied limiters: full-text, publication date 2005-2010 using the same search statements. The second search resulted in 50 hits. I decided to modify the search with another search statement, s3 library. This was too limited of only 1 hit. I returned to the second search and added another limiter of title for project based learning statement. This resulted in 15 hits. The ERIC database features many limiters which assist in locating relevant information on a topic with the successive fraction approach. This database allows limiters to be added one at a time or several. I was able to find significant information on my topic. The ERIC database was user friendly with informative results.
