I use WorldCat quite a bit for my cataloging needs as I do not have access to bound cataloging books. If I can't find a book in SDLN, I turn to WorldCat for my resource.
As the search in OAIster, I am totally wowed!! I found a picture of Ada schoolhouse and congregation, an old settlement in our county: Ada schoolhouse and congregation Author: Frank L. Moore Photographs Publication: 1923-05-23 In: Amistad Research Center (http://www.tulane.edu/~amistad/) Resource Type: image; Data Contributor: LOUISiana Digital Library (LDL);
I couldn't believe the titles in the OAIster!! I could still be looking at articles, but then I wouldn't get the rest of the assignments finished, and I'm behind as it is :-)

Lesson 5 NetLibrary
Crafts is my interest of choice and wow, did I find plenty to choose from! I found "Crafts From Your Favorite Fairy Tales" by Kathy Ross. This will be a fun book to use for future story time and to show the day care lady who is always looking for something different. This NetLibrary will be an exciting site to share!! I love the fact that one can print out the articles too.
Fitness: if you are a fitness guru (I try, but have failed miserably) there are numerouse books available for your references. The "Complete Idiot's Guide to Fitness" by Claire Walter is quite a resource for the beginner who wants to get in shape to wear that new swimsuit this summer! The fact that pages can be printed for reference is a great feature.
Using "Nebraska" as a search for Western history produced some fascinating books. Being able to click on the numbers to bring up the notes is a nice feature for students doing a research paper and to print anything needed is great. I get questions from young students on numerous subjects for simple research papers on a variety of subjects from raising chickens to training dogs and the NetLibrary is going to be the best resource for me!

Lesson 4- Gale Reference Library
I chose history, then the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln as my subject search. We have just received a We the People Bookshelf Grant "A More Perfect Union" from ALA and I am looking for more resources to present programming on the subject. These resources can be used to help encourage students to check out the books we received and I can use Gale Reference Library to give them more information, especially to the students who are currently studying American history. What a great resource for our library because we have very few non-fiction books, particularly for the young students.
I typed in Civil Right Movement as that is prt of the We the People Bookshelf Grant and was amazed at the number of references. Again, a great resource for our probramming for the grant. The fact that we can listen to the articles is quite an advantage for students, especially if they have reading problems and gain better to listen to the words rather than read them.
