Many of the records from the third search were from School Library Media Activities Monthly which the university library does not own. This was disappointing after becoming interested in the articles from reading the abstracts.
The hit from this search supposedly included many articles from Library Talk but only the first article listed appeared in the HTML and PDF full text. This was a collaboration unit about zoo animal research. It included preparation details and activities, a research planning sheet, a fact-gathering sheet, and presentation ideas while discussing how to incorporate copyright and plagiarism into the unit.
This is my preferred search method. As Heting Chu states, "this search strategy is highly recommended to users, especially to novice users" (2005, 84).
