1. I really like the fact that you had many choices to search other than keyword. This will eliminate irrelevant results when searching for info.
2. I chose the book Wild as I'm currently reading it. 515 results were found. 2505 libraries have this book. Alexander Mitchell Library was the first one listed to have it. Location in library: Adult Nonfiction 813.6 STRAYED. No other information was listed when I delved deeper into it. Maybe I didn't look in the right area. I'm not quite sure.

1. I really liked that you could see the pages on the right hand side for the article. This helps skip thru the pages that you may not need to utilize.

1. What a cool site! I loved the face that when you clicked on an artifact, everything came with the picture. Ie. facts and explanation. This would make a presentation very easy to edit in a very quick amount of time.
I see what happened--when you clicked into the Alexander Mitchell listing, you were looking at that library's record for Wild. In the WorldCat record, if you scroll down, you see what is suggested for call numbers: Class Descriptors: LC: PS3619.T744; Dewey: 813/.6; B; 979.043 and also what subjects etc the book was classified under. Many libraries use the WorldCat record to get cataloging hints to answer questions like "what call number should I use" and also for a reference tool--my patron wants other books like "Wild"--what else is out there.
