Lesson 8

Lesson 8

In WorldCat I chose the book Still Alice .  There are 1174 libraries that have the book.  The first library that came up was Alexander Mitchell library in Aberdeen, South Dakota.  The call number for the book is LC PS3607E55 and Dewey is 813/.6.  The author has also written Left Neglected and Love Anthony.

In looking up the Alzheimer's Disease I found that there are 1116 entries.


In using OAIster I found it very interesting and could see varied uses for it.  I think the faculty especially secondary could use it in preparing lesson.  The students could use it when they are preparing papers and cannot find the necessary information in the local libraries.  There are controversial issues addressed.  If a small community library had books on these subjects there would probably be an uproar in that community but being accessible on this database would be okay.
