I typed in Little Women and found out that it was in 1448 libraries.
Charles Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities by Harold Bloom was in 981 libraries. Interesting that a book about this book would be in so many other libraries. Must be well know too. The first one on the list was Roosevelt High School Library.LC: PR 4571 and Dewey 828.3. He has written about several famous authors: F Scott Fitzgerald, best poems, shakespeare, the western canon, Yeats and Mark Twain. I found other books that were written about A Tale of Two Cities.
I typed in South Dakota fiction and found a book
Of Uncommon Birth: Dakota Sons of Vietnam, and Field of Honor (A review). I could not find where the access button was to click on right away but I did find it eventually. I found out more information about the book and that is was published by the Univeristy of Nebraska Press. It gave an intesting description of the book. It is about two South Dakota men who came from different backgrounds and came together in Vietnam. It describes their very different backgrounds and different lives and how they end up sharing experiences and the same fears. One man survives and the other does not. It sounded interesting!
You made some good finds, teachercj. You rightly mention that the access button in OAIster can be tricky to find, but once you find it, the information is right there. Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a bit to figure out the OAIster button, too, but once I did, I found many interesting books just by using the phrase "South Dakota." The enjoyable part of this type of search is that it shows books that a person wouldn't necessarily even know they existed because they are not common titles that you see advertised or talked about.
