Lesson 8
Part 1
1. There are many ways other than keyword in which WorldCat may be searched. Very beneficial to the researcher.
2. I typed in the book title Wonder. Two thousand eight hundred sixty-four libraries worldwide have this book! The top location was the Alexander Mitchell Library in South Dakota.
3. The call number is FIC PAL. Author R.J. Palacio has also written 365 Days of Wonder; The Julian Chapter: A Wonder Story; and Pluto: A Wonder Story. When I clicked on the subject Abnormalities, Human I got the same book. I went back and clicked on Self-acceptance and I got 59 fiction results for that search!
Part 2
1. One of my results was "Fierce Winds and a Blank Whiteness" : The Culture of Dakota Winter, 1870-1915. When I clicked on the access link I was taken to the VirginiaTech VTechWorks site. It had an abstract dated 07-25-2011. When I clicked on the Show full item record it took me to a page which showed the author; the abstract; the publisher, etc. When I clicked on View/Open it took me to the file which was the entire thesis written by Daniel James Fischer. This document was 139 pages long including the bibliography. It was an interesting thesis on the history of the early Dakotas!
Part 3
1. I clicked on Warrior His Horse Wounded. I liked how the viewer was able to zoom in and out of the picture to be able to really examine the sketch. The viewer also has the option to download three different sizes of the picture. The print option, reference URL and the save to favorites options are readily available. The description of the art work is very complete.
2.Teachers at my school would love this access to CAMIO. The site would be great for teachers to use when they are discussing different time periods and different mediums of art. I not really sure about the community benefit since we do not have any computers that are set up for community use.
3. I chose to look into the topics of costumes and jewelry. I clicked on an earring, an armlet and a necklace. I exported them to PowerPoint and then had to click to say that the export was okay so that I could manipulate the pictures. I was able to manipulate this pictures with all of the available options on PowerPoint! Plus, the site it was taken from was also on the document, so I had instant access to my citation materials - how cool!!

Lesson 9
1. I was disappointed that I only received a Volume 1 that only included my birth date, my address and an old phone number.
2. I typed in my grandfather and found out that he was born in December, 1882 in Canada, England - I never knew this! His father was born in Canada, England and so was his mother - too cool!!
3. I clicked on U.S. School Yearbooks, 1880-2012. I tried to find my husband's yearbook was I was unable. However, I did find his older sister's - too cool! A person would really have to have a lot of time on his/her hands to be able to really get to the information he/she is seeking...
4. The first thing I clicked on was Search Census. I searched my dad. It was cool how it brought up the census results! I did not know that my grandfather was born in Canada. My grandmother was 30 when she had my dad and my grandfather was 43. My dad had siblings who were 15, 14, 4, 2, 10, and 8 when he was born. Another sister was not born until he was 4. It was strange that my dad had told me that he was born in 1924 and that is what his death certificate said, but the record said that he was born in 1925. Maybe the abt above the year means about... Next I searched the Family History Books and Directories. Since I do not know anything about my ancestry, I searched and searched using my dad's and mom's last names, but I did not come up with anything here. I searched the Revolutionary War and several Hazzards were listed. I am not sure if any are related to my family. I look forward to using this site to dig further!!
5. I chose Rapid City for my town and September 1930 for my date in Sanborn Maps. I found two buildings that are still in use today. They are the South Dakota School of Mines and the Alex Johnson Hotel. I am not very good with maps so this was kind of difficult for me. I think that my husband would be very interested in Sanborn Maps since he grew up here and I did not.
