I decided to start with the Library Lit database. I wanted to search for ways to encourage reluctant or non-readers to come to the library. For concept one, I searched "young adults or teens." For concept two, I searched "programs or services." For concept three, I searched "reluctant or struggling." My initial search only yielded two results, so I removed "reluctant or struggling" and got better results. It seems that almost all the articles about teen services dealt with struggling readers.
The Building Blocks search strategy helped me to focus and narrow my topic and my thinking before I began the searching process. In addition, it was easy to modify my search because I had already broken it down into it's constituent parts.
