Challenge Lesson 8: Worldcat, Camio, and More

Part 1:
2. I searched for the book "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathon Safron Foer. There were 10 different book results brought up. There are 2,623 libraries worldwide that have item #1. The top library that comes up is the Alexander Mitchell Public Library in Aberdeen.

3. After clicking on result number 1, I found that the call number/class descriptor is 813.6. When clicking on the author, I see that he has two other books available to get. I clicked on the first subject listed which was September 11 terrorist attacks fiction and that brought up 10 other books available on that subject. I see that you can also click and find other books that are of the same or similar genre.

Part 2:
I clicked on a couple different results on the access link to see what I would come up with. The first result I clicked on was "South Dakota Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Documentation of Discrimination" and when I clicked on the access link, the memorandum for this law comes up that you can read and print out if you like. I also clicked on a result titled "Cruel and Degrading: The Use of Dogs for Cell Extractions in U.S. Prisons" and the access link brought up a PDF document that you could read online or print out. I think this is a great tool to have access to because you can get documents/ books that you wouldn't normally be able to get without having to have the physical book. I can think of a few of our public patrons as well as students who are doing research projects who would benefit from this tool.
