Search Competency 4: BIP-Books in Print

For this next competency I am going to be using Books in Print(BIP) as my database. BIP is a database that contains a catalog of over 14.8 different book titles. I am going to try a previous naive question and see if I get better results with BIP. Naive question is:

I love Indian contemporary fiction. Can you suggest some authors?

For this search I am going to be using a browsing strategy. My plan is to start with a general search, see where that takes me, and then build upon that. In the case of BIP, their layout is not set up to operate on the standard Boolean Logic protocol, which makes a browsing strategy more realistic to yield results.

ss1: (modern) keyword search. With the limiters of the English language, and country of origin as India.
Results: 58

Out of the results retrieved, a lot of them seemed to pertain to Native America and not South Asia. There were titles like A Daughter of the Sioux, Algonquin Indian Tales, and The Moccasin Maker.

I then tried changing the search to contemporary, and it yielded the same results.
ss2: (contemporary) keyword search. With the limiters of the English language, and country of origin as India.
Results: 45

Now, to be more specific.
ss3: (contemporary) AND (South Asia) keyword search. With the limiters of the English language, and country of origin as India.
Results: 12

This search was much better. Here are some results:
