#1 The novel Les Miserables
I typed in Les Miserables and a
pop up underneath the search bar showed several things so I clicked on “Les
Miserables novel” since the patron was not interested in the movie or musical version. There were 1844 entries.
Going to the right side the
document type under articles revealed 921 articles about Les Miserables. The subject limiters resulted in 147 results
under literary criticism. I went to two
of these articles. A simple scrolling of
the article first reveals the words Les Miserables highlighted in yellow. So a simple scrolling of the article first
and searching for the high lighted words would give you an idea of how many references
of your subject was in the article.
#2 Hurricane Sandy’s impact on Libraries
I went to advanced search and
typed in Hurricane Sandy. In the next box I typed libraries.
I looked at the one article
that resulted from this advanced search.
The Jan 01, 2013 copy of the Library Journal had an article “The Budget
Balancing Act.” Again the highlighted words help you to scroll and find the
information in the article. According to
this article the impact of Hurricane Sandy on libraries is still unknown.
Thank you for your excellent post on Proquest! It is a great example of using the suggested search terms Proquest provides.
