6.4 - Browsing Search


For my final search strategy I did a browsing search of the ERIC database. I started browsing by going to the Thesaurus and decided to look at youth programs. Using this strategy I picked what I thought best defined what I was looking for under youth programs and came up with some interesting results. Among the best results I found browsing like this was :

Connecting Youth to High-Resource Adults: Lessons from Effective Youth Programs . By: Sullivan, Patrick J.; Larson, Reed W.. Journal of Adolescent Research, v25 n1 p99-123 2010. (EJ867062)
Database: ERIC

After having tried three other search strategies before this one I have to say that this is a good way to search when you are not looking for anything very specific but are just looking at information. Overall I would have to say I liked the building block search strategy best with browsing as my third favorite as most useful strategies out of these four.
