For the building block search, I chose the ASC database. I wanted to find articles about using technology to perform research in the library. I first put in the terms technology or computers and research or explore and library. This search resulted in 8872 hits. Way too many. I narrowed it down by changing the search parameters to subject terms. 330 hits were produced. Better, but still too many. Next I added the term student. This time, 20 hits came back. Much more manageable and almost every hit seemed usable. Building block search was overwhelming at first with all the hits that it gave me. However, by narrowing it down only two times, I got a manageable list of possible resources. The hit I looked at is called Improving the Student Experience-How Can the Library Help? by Jean Sykes at http://ezproxy.twu.edu:2057/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=27394902&site=ehost-live
