Archive Grid & CAMIO

Another pair of databases I hadn't explored! (thanks, State Library, for always keeping me learning!) I assist with an honors history class and I think that Archive Grid would have some great applications. For this class, students have to research some aspect of the Holocaust, and I think Archive Grid could be a great way to find something unique!

CAMIO would have similar applications for this history class . . . very exciting!

WorldCat and OAIster

As an ILL person, I love and depend on WorldCat. The mother of all library catalogs. Easy to search, easy to find dependable information, nice formatting . . . just about perfect. And the way the catalog streamlines with ILL should be a lesson to all software developers.

OAIster is interesting and I hadn't used it before. But I'll keep it in mind!
