WorldCat etc. Week 7

I happened to have some donated books on my desk so I chose this title : Japanese Temari : a colorful spin on an Ancient Craft by Barbara B. Suess. I did as the instructions directed and got only 2 results but 302 libraries worldwide. Bettendorf Public Library was the top name but when I clicked in I got that wonderful message we all adore ; This page cannot be displayed. I could not click in to the next 2 libraries but #4 was a winner. It was Council Bluffs Public Library and a record was displayed with the call number being 746.9 Su24. The author had written one other book found at that library. You see "nearby authors" which are those whose names come before and after Suess plus the copyright year if only one book is available. A bold lined box also suggests an author may use a pseudonym and it gives suggestions for other searches under other possible names.
I clicked on the subject "Fancy work - Japan with 3 results, 2 of which were listed in my prior search. The call # was shown, the status and a colored picture of the book's cover. You can also request the item from this page. You can limit your search to available items, save marked records, save all on page or save to my lists.
I did look into some of the other databases and happened to choose ClasePeriodica with "radiation" as the search term and got almost 1400 hits. Once again the amount of information is overwhelming.
Part 2 OAIster An error occurred while I was searching so had to log off and log back in. I got 764 results for the "South Dakota" search term. If a book was available through the State Library it was highlighted in light blue with kelly green letters. I clicked into "Custer City on French Creek. 1 library (Denver Public) worldwide had it. I got an error message 404 when clicking on the link next to "Access" so I tried the 2nd link and a photographic print on a stereo card came up. I used to go to my local library and look through a viewer at these. It was a view of the Gordon Stockade near what is now Custer. There are many other things you can click on to complete your search from this page and then download or print.  I did click on "Browse this collection" and many more old pictures came up all from Colorado. I found it odd the Gordon Stockade photo was there since it is in South Dakota. All these photos came from "Photographs - American History."
I do use WorldCat but not the one through the State Library to find subject headings for books not available through the libraries in South Dakota. I have to agree with some of the others this site is definitely geared toward those working in the library world but there is valuable information for others as well. It really does go from basic to indepth info.
