I want to read "The girl with the dragon tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. The
book is fiction and deals with a Journalist who is is hired to investigate
the disappearance of an heir to a wealthy family.
I found 2325 libraries world wide that own this book with the Alexander Mitchell library listed first. Reading the abstract to see if a book would be of interest is a plus which would let the student be aware if they wanted to select the book or not. The desctriptor lists, missing persons, rich people, corruption, murder and investigation, all fiction, giving the reader a closer look at the book.
In Edgemont, our school library has utilized World Cat and find it a great resource.
OAIster database:I am not familar with this section and when I typed in South Dakota I was not sure what I was looking for. The title "Log Shanty with flag, woman and seven boys" caught my eye. General information revealed the use of an image and where you could contact for the picture. There was only one library which showed this picture, possibly located in South Dakota around 1908. Not sure we would use.... unless looking for pictures.

Hi, Katie! Good comments here--you understand WorldCat and OAIster very well. World wide coverage, with scholarly database access. Thanks.
