3. Class Descriptor: LC: PS3561.R44
Other things include: Genre/Form, ISBN & LCCN, Language, Publication, Author, Year


DISCOVERY EXERCISE PART 2
OAIster

I have used WorldCat quite a bit for ILL, but haven't used the other FirstSearch Indexes too much. I really liked it and it was fairly simple to use.

  1. If you use WorldCat a lot, and it sounds as if you do, you are very familiar with searching it. Glad we could show you something new with OAIster. Thanks for your comments, Musings!
