Module 6: ERIC through EBSCOhost--Specific Facet First

I preformed a Specific Facet First search in ERIC (EBSCOhost). The first search I completed was for Early Literacy. S1 = Specific Facet = "Early Literacy" = 844 hits

I narrowed this search by adding Library. S2 = "Early Literacy" and Library = 40 hits
I changed Library to "Public Library" for my final search. S3 = "Early Literacy" and "Public Library" = 9 hits
First Hit:
Reflection on Search: I like this search even more than the last. All of the articles do relate to children’s literacy programs and some of them address things I haven't heard of before, like the Flannel Board article. One of the articles from the previous search, “Born to Read: Florida Style,” appeared in this search also.
