Competency # 6 Dialog - Specific Facet First

I chose ERIC as my DB in a Dialog search. My specific facet was "metadata digital image gps" and I received 0 hits.

Since Eric is a education based information system, the possibility of information related to GPS is very slim. I returned and dropped GPS from my search.

Results: Metadata (402)
Digital (4969)
Image (8635)
