Database: JStor
This time my search strategy will be successive fractions and my search string will remain the same. Unlike Specific Facet First, this time I will be starting my search with the search term that created the most hits, that being: school and (elementary or primary). This resulted in over 300,000 hits so I move onto the next facet: motivate or inspire. I still have over 20,000 results so I move on to the third facet: storytelling. After completing the third facet I am still left with just over 500 hits, still too many to look through.
Now I will limit my search even further by adding a date range of articles from 2004 to 2008. My search returns 3 results.
Reflection: Using this search strategy, I did not produce any hits related to my question. This leaves me to wonder if it is my search terms, the user, or the database. As I searched, I noticed that this database seems to offer little information on teaching, schools, and libraries. So far, the strategy that has shown the best results is the specific facet first.
