Lesson 7: WorldCat: Sarah's Key and Bde Ihanke-Lake Andes

Lesson 7:
WorldCat
Part 1:
I searched for the book "Sarah's Key". This is one of the best books I have read in the past few years. Everyone I have suggested it to has, also liked it. My search brought up 101 libraries that have the book and 46 libraries that have the book in english. The call # 's are: LC, PR9105.9.R66 and Dewey, 823/.914 (Fiction).
The first library that came up was Augustana College. I found a movie made in France based on this book.
Researching the author's name brought up "The House I Loved" and "A Secret Kept". There were 227 records found for Rosnay, Tatiana de, 63 of them were in english.
Jews-France-Fiction resulted in 415 responses, with 317 in books, 33 sound recordings, 7 visual, 1 archival and 1 computer; out of these 235 were in english.
World War -1939-1945-France-Anniversaries, etc.-Fiction produced 49 responses, with 36 books, 8 sound, 2 visual and 3 internet, out of these 30 were in english.
I did a search in the indexes and found related authors and related subjects to my book.
One was "The Butterfly"  a book by Patricia Polacco.

Part 2:
After finding South Dakota I clicked on "An Environmental Biography of Bde Ihanke-Lake Andes: History, Science, and Sovereignty Converge with Tribal, State, and Federal Power on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, 1858-1959" .


There is only one copy of this at The University of Nebraska - Lincoln by David Nesheim.
