Specific Facet First Search

For my specific facet first search, I chose to use the LibLit database. All of my search terms were pretty broad as individual terms, so I chose the a database that would intrinsically restrict my search topic. I also chose the search term that I thought was most specific:

· Computers or technology



I got 18, 238 hits. This was far too many to adequately search.






Hits 2, 4 and 7 were pretty good, hits considering. I would still consider this a failed search and move on to a building block or successive fractions search.
