While in WorldCat I typed in a book that I like to read with my students. There were many libraries that had it, over 2000 of them. The list began with libraries in SD. When I clicked on the top Library which was in Mitchell it said it couldn't go there. The third one down on my list was NSU and I could get there. I am not sure what the class descriptor is. They are different topics to click on. Then I clicked on the author's name and selected titles by the same author. Four titles totaled popped up. All located at the NSU library.
I scrolled down and found the word Descriptors and there were several different topics listed. When I clicked on one of those it went to a whole different pages of books available. This was a more difficult task for me to do. It was more complicated for me to understand the site. It is probably not a site that I would use very often, if at all. I can't see how is would be useful for my age of students.
I do enjoy seeing all the different things out there and realize just how much I don't know. My students have to give a speech and I am requiring them to use the lib. website to get facts and information. Hopefully by using it they will be comfortable using it again.
Hi, Denise, thanks for your work here. Sorry for your frustration. I think you got off track when you clicked into NSU's library. Our directions and expectations make more sense within WorldCat. You are correct; you probably wouldn't use this with your students. Keep it in mind, though, as an international index to library holdings if you ever need something. We appreciate your comments.
