Lesson 6 World Cat & More

Exercise Part 1
I have never used this resource and so am learning quite a bit about it. To start out I tried just searching for the book, The Mitten by Jan Brett. That was interesting because in the search I discovered there is a guide for using "The Mitten."
The next thing I did was practical. We have a teacher who would like to find a few extra copies of "Stone Fox" by Gardiner. I searched for this book and discovered that 11 libraries in South Dakota have this book, including the Mitchell Public Library so I will give her that information.
#2 I decided to go to the subject of the Holocaust again. I have been using this subject in the other electronic resources and wanted to see how this resource would be helpful. The subject Holocaust yielded 65,724 book results with 8125 visual results. What I also found interesting was that there is a video called Paper Clips. One of our teachers has recently showed me the book with the same title.
The first book listed was Hitler Youth. There are 3784 books world wide and the first library listed is the Alexander Mitchell Library.
#3 The call number of Hitler Youth was LC DD253.5. It is described as juvenile literature with no specific age level mentioned. The abstract gave a short summary of the book. It has an index, 176 pages, is illustrated, and contains maps. It was published in 2005 and there was a picture of the cover of the book.
I think World Cat could be very useful for a teacher researching a topic to find books and visuals for units. Perhaps the teacher could find several fiction books relating to the topic as well as nonfiction books with more detailed facts.
I do not know if I am really following directions as well as I should on this lesson!! I will try to do better on part 2!
