There are a variety of different ways to search WorldCat in the Advanced Search Tab. When I help out with interlibrary Loan I thought using the advanced search was a great help - I would typically search by ISBN or ISSN numbers.
I searched for the book Sophies Choice. I came up with 192 records - record number one had 3089 libraries attached to in including Black Hills State University. There is a lot of good information from this full record: LC and Dewey Numbers, author, descriptors, year of publication, etc.
In using the OAIster feature I looked at A Brief history of South Dakota by Doane Robinson. I was directed to the full text version of this book found at the HathiTrust Digital Library. Well I have never used this resource before - I will definitely use this in the future to access full text contact. It is true you learn something new every day!!!

Hi, Scott, you are so proficient with these resources that I'm glad we could finally introduce you to something new! :) I think OAIster can be a benefit to your patrons--and just plain fun to poke around in.
