Competency 6 - Library Lit / Specific Facet First Search / Cut & Paste

Topic : Library's Multimedia for Teens.

I perform the search in Library Lit & Inf Full Text in "Wilson Web".

First I search the facet that is most likely to retrieve the fewest the items:

S1 = Teen OR adolescent OR young adult = 5904 hits,
then I narrow by adding the 2nd facet
S2 = S1 AND (Multimedia OR CD OR DVD) = 62 hits,
Then I narrow it againe by adding the 3 facet
S3 = S2 AND Library = 36 hits.

The first 3 hits are:

Selected Videos and DVDs for Young Adults [2007]. Young Adult Library Services v. 5 no. 3 (Spring 2007) p. 39
Selected DVDs and Videos for Young Adults. Voice of Youth Advocates v. 30 no. 1 (April 2007) p. 8
YALSA's 2007 Selected Videos/DVDs & Audiobooks for Young Adults. School Library Journal v. 53 no. 4 (April 2007) p. 53-5

Reflection on search: this search comes up with the bibliography of the lists of Selected Videos and DVDs and Selected Audiobooks for young adults for each year. Which I find quite interesting.
