Citation Pearl Search DB competency

Last winter, I attended a web usability conference with Brenda Reeb. The goal was to make your web page user centered. Since our help desk will be on the web we want it as user centered as possible. Since we are talking library technology I searched LibLit for Brenda Reeb as an author. I found 5 records and used Students, Librarians, and Subject Guides: Improving a Poor Rate of Return to examine other subject headings.

By searching "library pathfinders" and technology I obtained 417 hits. This was still way to0 many to use. I did browse and found that an article that held the subject heading of web site administration.



I got 24 hits with pathfinder and technology. I did not like the hits I obtained with this search and database.





This search was frustrating. My DSL was running slow and so was my brain.
