1. I started by searching Martin Luther, then narrowed the search using "juvenile audience", and choosing "not fiction content". I came up with 2,060 results. I noticed the results reflected Martin Luther KING rather than Martin Luther. I revised my search to "Martin Luther Reformation" using the same limiters and ended up with 84 books and the "right" Martin Luther! :) I would recommend "Martin Luther: A Man Who Changed the World". Brookings is the closest library that has this book available.
2. I searched "graphic novels classic books". I only "limited" my search to "books". I ended up with 787 results. I would recommend purchasing "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Marvel Publisher
3. I searched "My Fair Lady musical score". I got 82 results, and further limited it to "scores" which dropped it to 56 results. The selection I chose has an Accession No. of OCLC: 998214.
A neat thing about WorldCat is that there are many ways to search and get the desired results. For instance, for #1, you could have used the "NOT" and keyword "King," which would have eliminated the King results--but your way worked, too. What we can learn from this is to get in there and try different things until you get what you want. Thanks for your good work here, Laurie!
