Compentcy 6- Library Literature-Citation Pearl

Library Literature

Citation Pearl.

Using the article, “Leading from the Middle” by Margaret Thomas, a citation pearl search was used to find like articles.

I used the subject of “Administration”, found in the subject of the citation, and the author’s name to find like titles.

I located the following six articles.

The search resulted in three more articles that addressed the information need of library management/administration. The 3 articles area as follows.

Thomas, M. NextGen Delivers the Straight Scoop on Library Work. Alki v. 22 no. 2 (July 2006) p. 21-2

Thomas, M. KCLS: Clustering Means Flexibility. Alki v. 22 no. 1 (March 2006) p. 20-1

Thomas, M. Private Fundraising for Public Libraries. Alki v. 21 no. 1 (March 2005) p. 5-6, 10

Using the citation information from the original article I was able to easily locate other articles that were equally valuable to my information need.
