Competency 6: Search 3 Citation Pearl Growing in Academic Search Premier

Citation Pearl Growing in Academic Search Premier


I used (reluctant or remedial) and (elementary or primary school) and (interest or motivate) which produced 8 hits:




I felt like 5 of the 8 hits were relevant to my search.
The first hit was very relevant:
1. PROMOTING an Addiction to Reading. By: Preddy, Leslie B.. School Library Media Activities Monthly, Oct2007, Vol. 24 Issue 2, p24-26, 3p, 1bw; (AN 26881383)
It looked like a great match, but to be on the safe side, I used the "find more like this one" tab to see if I would get more relevant information. That produced 51989 more hits and none of them were remotely close to my first search. I went back to my original 8 hits.





I effectively located information that would relate to my topic regarding motivating reluctant readers. This was very relevant information that I would use again in the future to provide me with accurate and plentiful information on motivating reluctant readers.
