This collection of search formulations was assembled to assist in Dialog Searching of the ERIC data base. The formulations represent modular building blocks or concepts that occur frequently when searching this file. They have been formulated and described in such a way that they can be used as given, or they can be modified to suit specific needs. For the most part, the terms were selected with high recall as the goal. The formulations have been grouped into five major sections: (1) school grade level; (2) population groups; (3) types of libraries; (4) geographic areas; and (5) other topics. Posting counts are given to indicate the relative contribution of each of the terms in the formulation. The approximate processing time and cost for execution of a search/save is also included for each formulation. (Author)
