> Using world cat I determined to focus my search on distance education and the use of the public library. I started the search by using distance education or nontraditional education. This resulted in a large number of results, but less than the number retrieved if I would have started with the public library as my original search term. I then determined I must add another facet, as suggested by the specific facet model. This limited the number of hits retrieved. Many of the hits did not seem geared toward the meaning of my search, but I was able to find several that worked well. WorldCat is a great database to negotiate. I was able to move between tabs easily, and the refine your search tool can be extremely helpful to users. The database also allows for the user to narrow the search easily once it is created. Using successive fraction model would be the most helpful on this database. Though specific facet worked as well.
