I used Academic Search Complete for my Citation Pearl Growing Search. I looked up an article entitled "Boys Books, Girl Books" that I had found in a previous search. From the subject terms, I chose to search Teacher-librarians. That search produced 536 hits so I narrowed it by adding "boys or males" to the results. I then came up with 8 very relevant hits. Two of the best ones were:boys are people too: boys and reading, truth and misconceptions.Preview By: Horton, Rosemary. Teacher Librarian, Dec2005, Vol. 33 Issue 2, p30-32, 3p; (AN 19212540)
Overcoming the Obstacle Course: Teenage Boys and Reading.Preview By: Jones, Patrick; Fiorelli, Dawn Cartwright. Teacher Librarian, Feb2003, Vol. 30 Issue 3, p9, 5p; (AN 9066976)
I really thought this was a very practical and natural way to search. I recognized this as a method I have intuitively used throughout my education. It is akin to both reference chasing and looking up a book in the stacks and then scanning the similar books on the shelf around it.
