Lesson 7

WorldCat
Part 1
I chose to search for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I searched "dragon tattoo". I got 4 results, none of which were The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. So, I went back and typed in the full title. This time I got 62 results. 2,497 libraries own the first result, including my library. The top library is mine, Alexander Mitchell Public Library.

The call number is LC: PT9876.22 A6933; Dewey: 839.738. I also notice you can click on the genre and see more books in that genre, a description of the book, and a link to cite the book.

*I actually already feel very comfortable using this part of WorldCat because this is what we use to request our ILLs. We've also used it here & there when ALEPH is down to see if we own an item!

Part 2
I searched "South Dakota" and clicked on the result Sweet Clover in Great Plains Farming. I clicked on the link next to "Access". This gave me a page by page listing for me to choose which page I wanted. I clicked on page 11 and page 11 came up, looking just as it does in the book. You can zoom in and out on the pages, and go to the next page. I think this is one more great resource for patrons doing research and will definitely keep this in mind!
