I searched for "award-winning children* literature" using LibLit, as this search term specifies what type of literature [award-winning] and what genre of literature [children's] should be included in the documents brought forth by the search.
This search resulted in 15 records.
The first hit was an interview with author Jeanne Birdsall. In the document entitled "Seems Like Old Times," Birdsall discusses her books, including the one that won the National Book Award for young people's literature.
This hit was highly relevant as it provides discussion and information related to book(s) by Jeanne Birdsall that are not only award-winning, but are also engaging for children and young adults. Furthermore, as this document is an article from School Library Journal, its relevancy to school librarians is well-established. This hit provides recent and informative news related to award-winning literature, making it a good resource for school librarians.
I like the Specific Facet First search strategy because of how it allows me to really hone in on a specific part of my search query. I think it is sometimes useful to see how narrow a search can be so that you can then broaden it, if necessary. I was pleased with the results of this search and the database, as LibLit's focus is on libraries and issues related to them.
