Competency 6: Successive Fraction Search



I found that LEXIS was very simple to use. I was able to complete a successive fraction search in a simple manner. While it did not retrieve as many hits as I would have preferred, I was able to narrow the search to a limited number of hits. With only adding one more facet I was able to go from 1000 hits to ten hits. While ten hits is a more manageable number to search through, it is my opinion that the 1000 hits might have produced results that were not produced when the search was narrowed.
