Lesson 6 - WorldCat and More First Search Indexes
I searched for the book Carol Heiss; Olympic Queen. Actually, I just searched under her name, and this was the only book that came up. I think it's the same book I read in grade school! I remember reading it over and over. I would love to see the book again. If I remember correctly, it was one of the books that was ordered through the school. WorldCat showed it being at 309 libraries worldwide, with the top library being at the University of South Dakota. I found the Class Descriptor as GV850.H38; Dewey: 927.9691; 796.91/092/. The year is listed as 1961, and it shows it as a Juvenile book with 128 pages. Yup, I bet that's the book! I also noticed that it shows the libraries having it in six nearby states--kind of interesting. WorldCat is really huge. It's amazing that so much information is in one place.

Hi, Rural 479! Isn't it fun to find an old favorite not available in stores anymore? Yes, WorldCat opens up the world of library holdings! Did you take a few minutes to explore OAIster? We'd like to know what you think.
