Library Challenge #6 World Cat

I chose the book "The Postmistress" by Blake in a Title/Phrase search, since that is the book our book club is reading this month. I received 9 results with 1298 libraries owning a copy. The first library listed was ours (SBR). In looking at the full record it was interesting that you could get how to cite the book for any paper you were writing.

In OAISTER I found 145 results for South Dakota. I loved looking at the photos-- "Cattle on a western farm" by Frank Moore and "A school of the Prairie" by Laura Kinsloe. Nothing surfaced when I put Sturgis, SD in sub/phrase but it did come up in a keyword search -- "Sturgis: The story of the Rally" by Carl Edeburn.
