Comp #6 3 of 4 Citation Pearl Growing

For this type of search I used the database JSTOR. I used the search terms "literacy" and "illiteracy". When using "literacy" I came back with the article, "Rethinking Literacy: Comparing Colonial and Contemporary America" by Deborah Keller-Cohen, found in Anthropology & Education Quarterly, Vol. 24, No. 4, Alternative Literacies: In School and Beyond (Dec., 1993), pp. 288-307. From this search I was able to to grow a list of these search terms:

literate practices
learning literacies
literate culture
literate devotion
problems of illiteracy
literate bias
literate education

When using the term "illiteracy" I came back with the article, Overcoming Library Illiteracy by Lorene A. Garloch found in The Journal of Higher Education, Vol. 13, No. 3 (Mar., 1942), pp. 124-128. While the article is an older one it was able to provide me with other search terms I could use. Those are:

multicultural illiteracy
higher illiteracy
library illiteracy
technical illiteracy

By using this database to employ the search type citation pearl growing, I was able to find many more search terms that could be used in research.

I think that citation pearl growing might be the most beneficial searching term for researchers. It opens up so many more possibilities for searching a subject. I found it beneficial as there are many terms and phrases that I found that would never have occured to me to search.
