Assignment Prompt:Select the title of a literary work. It should be a work that you read in a recent course, one that appears on our course syllabus, or one that you might select for Module 4: Modern Revenge Narratives. You will enter your title as a search term in the search template in each of the three databases listed above.
Respond to the following five questions. Please paste and copy these into the Submit Assignment text box with your responses.
(1) What literary title did you use for searches? _________________________________________________________
(2) Of the three databases we’re exploring in this assignment, which use the EBSCOhost search template?
(TIP: in the EBSCO template, you should use the optional drop-down menu (Select a Field) and select “TI Title” to the right of the literary title you entered.)
(3) How many results or “hits” did your title produce in each database? Academic Search Premier ____ MLA International Bibliography ____ JSTOR ____
(4) For this question, you will aim to narrow the search you conducted in one of the three databases. Since a title-only search will likely produce too many results to be useful, experiment with some strategies for narrowing your results. What specific strategies did you try, in which database, and how many search results did you get?
(TIP: Potential strategies include adding another basic search term such as author name, limiting publication dates or publication type, or using other options provided in the search template.)
(5) Skim the results from one of your searches. Select any one source that resulted from one of your searches that draws your interest or curiosity. What piqued your interest? What topics or critical approaches do specific words/phrases in the title suggest? Any other comments? (A few sentences / brief paragraph will suffice. This question is mostly for fun and curiosity!)
