The final database which I searched was ERIC. With this database I determined to use the Pearl Growing Method. I started with an article “Public Library Services for Home Schooling” by Denise G. Masters. While the Descriptors varied to include several different terms, I determined that I would continue to remain using the same terms, but also included the term “access to information.” This allowed for me to retain a very small number of hits. I appreciated this search method, because it helps the user determine other terms to use. It is especially helpful in the ERIC database, which has a large amount of documents. ERIC is relatively easy to use. Each of the databases tested are easy to use if some knowledge is obtained about searching and the database itself.
