For my second search strategy I am trying a specific facet search in Project MUSE . For this search I am going to use the same facets I used for my building block search. They were ( adolescent or teen ) and (program or event) and (library). To begin a chose to search (adolescent or teen) before deciding whether I needed to add to it. I found 6,607 results and none that looked really promising as a top result so i decided to narrow it more by adding the second facet (program or event). This cut the results almost in half to 3,401. With this second facet I found some results I could use. I decided to add the third facet (library) to see if it made a big difference and while it lowered the result numbers the top result was still the same as when I didn't use it:
Walter, Virginia A. Sowing the Seeds of Praxis: Incorporating Youth Development Principles in a Library Teen Employment Program. Library Trends, Vol 58, no 1 (Summer 2009) p. 63-81.
Compared to the building block search I found this search a little tedious as I had to slowly work my way into narrowing the search by adding specific facets one at time. It was a little bit like a guessing game as I also had to first decide which facet would be my starting point as it was mostly likely to get the fewest results first.
