WorldCat Lesson 7

1.       For WorldCat I decided to look up one of my own books, Haggerty’s Curse. I found it listed in five places, some that were a surprise and others that I knew about. There were libraries I knew had multiple copies that weren’t listed.  Better World Books Inc. was at the top of the list. The Class descriptor was 823.  When I clicked on my name I was reminded of something else I’d written and is located in the Montana Historical Society: Comprehensive bibliography of books dealing with General Thomas Francis Meagher,  although this is out of date since I complied it in 2000. My newest book, Kylie’s Song, was published in fall of 2011 and not listed in World Cat.

2.       In OAIster I found some pictures from South Dakota from the 1890’s. One was American Soldiers gather up dead Sioux Indians after the Wounded Knee Massacre in South Dakota, 1892. Another one was a Birdseye view of a canyon in Wounded Knee, S.D., Jan. 1, 1891
