South Dakota State Library Lesson 6

I noticed Worldcat pulls up a lot of information using the search button. I might have to play around with it more to retrieve more specific information. I typed in "Witches" in hopes to pull up the Roald Dahl novel, but instead it pulled up other titles. The first title was "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". I decided to stay with that and see what it entailed. There are 4178 libraries that have this book on hand. It is categorized as Fiction with a class description as LC PZ7.R 79835. Which is basically telling me it is fiction. I looked in the subject section and choose "orphan" and saw a list of other books that are related to the subject chosen. I feel this would be a good tool to make connections and references to the topics in the book.

I entered South Dakota into Oister and choose the title " A School of the Prairie" I choose the subject: rural children and pulled up photos of rural children in front of schools, churches, etc. When I clicked on the author, it pulled up a list of titles that she wrote. It seems she likes to take photos of rural folks in common activities. This would work nicely when studying life in the past. The pictures show clothing and surroundings that are representative of the past rural Americans. It for nothing else the photos speak for themselves--rural life back in the day.
