Competency 6: Search 4 Browsing in LexisNexis

Browsing in LexisNexis

Motivate reluctant readers: (used power search, natural language, previous years, US newspapers and wire)

This search generated 33 hits. I felt like article #6 was informative to my query.
6 At the library: Tips to boost reluctant summer readersTulsa World (Oklahoma), July 22, 2007 Sunday, Entertainment; Pg. H8, 533 words, Staff Reports



I spent some time at the Tulsa Library to see how they motivate reluctant readers. I thought they had some very interesting information on their website. http://kids.tulsalibrary.org/adults/newsletter.htm

Regarding this particular search, I was surprised that hit #6 was the most relevant to my search topic. I like LexisNexis because I'm able to review newspaper articles from other cities around the U.S.
