I am amazed how many different ways there are to look up a book in the Worldcat resource! I chose to research the book Holes by Louis Sachar. When I looked under Title Phrase search, I came up with 280 records found. There were 3,963 libraries worldwide that carry some type of record of it. Black Hills State University was the top library on the list. The call number listed is PZ7.S1185 and the Dewey is listed as fiction. This way of cataloging is different then I am used to. We usually go by AF, JF, TF EF, etc. I  also found that by clicking on the author's name, I found all of the other books he had written. He has been very busy!
As I scrolled down to the subjects that are in this book I clicked on a certain subject and it brought different book titles that had these similar ideas in them. A person could go on & on to find out more information and books. So much information right at my fingertips!

Next, I did the research on the OAIster program by typing in South Dakota. I selected Sylvan Lake, B. & M.R.R. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a picture of Sylvan Lake Hotel. How beautiful it must have been in the 1800's!! Whenever I go to the Hills, I try to see this lake and I can't imagine there ever being anything there. The picture is located in Colorado listed with information about it as well as that it can be purchased. There is so much history out there if we really want it! The research tools are endless in the South Dakota State Library!!
