exercise one of module 52

I chose Liz Curtis Higgs as my favorite author and I used her title called Fair is the Rose. After I typed Fair is the Rose, I clicked the command twice that says find similar books. This option included all the subject headings that were included in the description of my favorite books. I had the option of checking all the headings that I wished to include in finding similar titles. I received over 107,996 titles since I checked all of the subject headings. I found similar titles such as Highland Princess, and Primose Wedding. These books were similar to Fair is the Rose because the story lines occured in Scotland in the eighteenth century, and they were romance books as Fair is the Rose.
I utilized Fiction L Booklist and I also used the title Fair is the Rose. I had several different Book lists in which to choose, and I choose miscellaneous titles. I had more categories from which to choose, and I choose inspirational and religious titles. This search result for this endeavour included other religious titles such as Orson Scott Card who wrote Rebekah, and Francine rivers who wrote redeeming love.
The third database that I used was What Should I Read Next. This database specifically asked for an author and title. When I typed Fair is the Rose by Liz Curtis Higgs, I got four search results titles. They were all books with religious themes.
The one similiarity that I noticed with all of these databases is that all the searches provided books with a Christian theme. Novelist was differant than what do I read next and Fiction L Booklist, since it not only provided me with Christian theme results, but it also provided me with books with a historical and romance setting. Novellist Plus and What should I read are similar because they are both title and author specific. I found What should I read next was much more narrow than Novel list plus, because it only provided me four titles that also have a Christian theme. This database instantly gave me the results and did not provide me the option of subject headings. The Novel List is much more broad in scope because it provided the subject headings option, and I received literally over 100,000 titles. Fiction L booklist is completely different from Novelist Plus and What do I read next because this database is category specific and not author and title specific. This search engine provided more results than what do I read next, but was not as broad in scope as Novel List Plus.
