I was pleased with how my answering of the question went, however, compared the the relatively easy question I was asking, I was rather stumped at how to answer the one that was asked of me. Looking for a bibliographical list of book titles around a theme didn't have a clear tool to use. I fought my urge to immediately go to Amazon.com and fumbled through the Belk Library tools to find a tool that would work. My initial thought was that I needed to find a book with such a list, but once I began searching it hit me that all they needed was a search results page to give them the same answers.
I guess my room for growth would be more along the lines of trying to coax them into telling me what form they want their answer in. While I'm great at finding raw data, I'm not really sure how other people prefer to have that data presented to them. A short answer would be simple, but a more general theme is hard to pass along to a patron.
