This time I thought I would try the advanced search interface. Maybe I am using bad search terms and I can find better ones using controlled vocabulary. Accordingly, I used the Advanced Search "look up index terms" function to see what I should be using. I did a search for terms including "website" and these are my results:
It looks like web design is not a topic on which LexisNexis has much information. However, I am interested in how organization websites can incorporate user generated content (for example by putting patron reviews or tags into an OPAC), so I thought I would do a search to see what kind of materials the database has on that, even though I don't really know what "Industry Results" are.
Here is my new search:
This returns 999 hits. The results are somewhat promising, but some are too old or too obscure.
First I went back and edited my search to only include results that are less than five years old, as this is a rapidly-evolving topic. However, this did not cut down on the number of results. Apparently it actually returns >1,000 hits, as the last search must have also, because I got this message:
In part 4 we'll see if we can search within these results to glean something useful.
This blog was created for TWU course SLIS 5513, Online Information and Retrieval. It chronicles searches for resources on website development and design in a variety of databases, and presents both substantive information on web design and reflections and tips related to database searching.
