Lesson 8--ArchiveGrid and CAMIO
1. Using ArchiveGrid I typed in
Nobel Prize Theodore Schultz and the first entry came up with Papers 1933-1988
which are at the Parks Library at Iowa State University. This entry also gave a description of Schultz
and discussed the oleo margarine controversy in 1943 that resulted in the
resignation of Schultz from the Department of Economics and Sociology. I discovered that you could click on other
items that brought you to World Cat with the same entry, Papers,
1933-1988.
2. Using CAMIO Clothing during the Victorian Era and Charles Dickens
After a bit of frustration I
finally typed in dress and the year 1850.
There were 11 results and I did spend some time looking at the pictures
of dresses. Are there any pictures of
men’s clothing? I also typed in clothing
(17 results) and fashion (16 results).
For each of these I clicked on 1800.
I tried typing Victorian Era but nothing would come up. I liked the way you could focus on parts of
the outfits if you wanted to look at the details quite close. This might prove valuable if a school did a
play of a certain era.
Thank you for your post! You came up with a great solution to locating the Dickens' era clothing. What a great idea to use CAMIO to look up clothing for a school play.
