Database Comp - JSTOR: Specific Facet

I began with a search of the terms I planned on using.

video game* - 9280
librar* - 118403
gamer* - 5080

Best results were from gamer*, which I think is the least likely to have a bunch of irrelevant articles show up on the search.

Combining video game* and gamer* gets a result count of 130, which looks much more relevant but is still a bit much to be digging through. Most of the results have to do with video games(except for one about the mating habits of tropical bats...what?), but I'm not seeing any focus on libraries or similar (for the obvious reason of it not being in the search yet)

Adding in the librar* search term cuts it down to 23 results, which is much better.
