World Cat and more -
I searched for the book "The Rosary". It is a favorite of my mom's, she is 87 and has a very old worn out copy that I have been afraid to read. There are 836 libraries with this book and Rapid City, SD is the top library. The call number is LC: BX2163; Dewey: 242/.74. When I clicked on the Author Garry Wells, I found he had written 32 books, 31 in English. There were 2,180 other books on the rosary. The site lists content, descriptors and materials specified. Interesting. Also there is an online version.
Other FirstSearch Indexes - Worls Cat 179 million articles from 1000 B.C. to present WOW!
Discovery Exercise part 2 - I went into OAIster, chose South Dakota and there were 764 results from farming, flooding, Wounded Knee, and many more. Lots of photo's of events which would be great to insert into a report if you can. Denver Public Library had a picture you could print or download.
Several blogs were still on earlier lessons which was encouraging to me since I am a week behind. "Blog" is very efficient, it is only Wednesday and they are already done with this weeks lesson. Some of you bloggers are very creative and I am impressed. I have enjoyed this blogging and like it because I can go back and figure out what resource I was using when I found some cool information I want to look into more. I hope I continue to use these resources so I know what is where and which to use for what. Ha. If you can follow that last comment we could be friends. Until next time...
Ha, crazy grandma dawn, we COULD be friends, as I understood that sentence perfectly! Good work with this lesson. Thanks for sharing your discoveries. We are glad you are planning to keep your blog to refer to and continue to find information in the State Library e-resources. Thanks for your comments.
