#7 WorldCat

I felt a little more at ease when I saw that we were looking at WorldCat since I do use this to borrow books for patrons. I was pleasantly surprised at all the things I did not know was there.  I started by searching for the book "Oogy" which I just finished as an audiobook. There were 13 resaults and 1303 libraries that carried it. I clicked on the first/top resault and saw the info it gave and some options you could choose from there. The call #, other books the author has in print, year published and a short synopsis on the story. Clicking on the subject line brought up total count of books, series info, whats on the internet, if book can be gotten in sound or visual and even archival options.

To be able to look for a subject and hopefully find it in different variations, like ebook, archives, sound, visual is a plus for some research projects. I looked at the "i" icon button from a few of the options under the database search.

In the OAIster database I put in SouthDakota as requested and scrolled through options until I found 'Sweet Clover in Great Plains Farming'.  Clicked access and a 30min clock started ticking. Caught me off gaurd but once I chose the 'book' and looked through some chapters the clock stopped running. If you would find something in these 'books or articles' you can also print them out. Saw just a few chapters that would be interesting so knowing I can print out is nice.  I'm sure we can find about anything from here to help a patron or student out.
