Succesive Fractions Search

I performed my successive fractions search in Library Lit. I began the search with "school librar* " and received 31, 373 hits. I then searched with the same keywords in the "title only", due to the high number of hits with the keyword in the journal name, and received 5,853 hits. LibLit has a "search within the results" function. I searched S2 and boys or gender or males and received 14 hits. Two of the most promising were:

Andera, S. Graphic Novels in the School Library to Help Promote Literacy for Boys. PNLA Quarterly v. 71 no. 4 (Summer 2007) p. 5-8


Doiron, R. Boy Books, Girl Books: Should We Re-organize Our School Library Collections?. Teacher Librarian v. 30 no. 3 (February 2003) p. 14-16

I found this type of search to be very useful, especially if the database has a user-friendly "search within the results" function. I think successive fractions is the closest to the natural way people tend to narrow down results.
