Reference Sources

My first choice would also be Fantastic Fiction. 

Amazon.  When a patron does not have the correct title or is unsure of the author, I sometimes use amazon.com to search for the correct title or for a synopsis of the story.  I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for?  But, these are the only other websites I have used in the library to help patrons! 

Week 6 - Wrap Up

My biggest discoveries were Ancestry and World Book.  I did this challenge earlier in the year, and these are still my picks!  Love all the information that is available in both of them. 

2.  I was able to steer a young student to Learning Express earlier this week so that was valuable as well.  I will continue to share this information with co-workers and patrons alike.

Week 5 - Lesson 9 History and Genealogy Resources

1.  I used Immigration & Travel and then used Ship Pictures and Descriptions.  I edited the search to
"Titanic 2".  I got 936 results.  I found the sister ship Olympic.  The Olympic was in service from 1911 until 1934.  It cost $7,500,000 to build.  It served as a troopship in WWI.  It was withdrawn from service in 1935 and sold to British shipbreakers.  The scrapped hulk was finally dismantled in 1937.

2.  Having searched newspapers and publications for "Hindenburg", I got 319 results.  Searching using "dirigible hindenburg" I found 480 results.

3.  I searched "boks" and narrowed it down to "places" typing in Yankton County, South Dakota.  I got seven results.  None of the results really seemed to pertain to Yankton county.
