Plan your Excellence: System Directors' Input on Use and Revision of "Standards for Public Library Service in Alabama. Stephens, Annabel K. Record Type: Abstract. 1996.

For this Successive Fraction search I used terms similar to other database searches. The three articles did not seem as relevant to other databases searched for this competency. Frustration using terms and the time factor made DIALOG a very difficult database to search. I think I would need a class in this database in the future or at least more practice.
