Lesson 10


1. The Sanborn maps were my biggest discovery. We have had clients’ come into the library and want maps of our era. The resources we have little and have to send most people to the Achieves in the local museum. I am hoping that our area will be added soon because there is a demand for the information

2.  It would be nice if we could have posters for the kids to see and read. We as clerks can verbally promote the sight but it still need to be understood. The summer reading program for the children isn't the format for this kind of education but is a time when we get lots of kids in at one time. We need to find a time to show what we offer and how to use the sights. The students will learn the sights when they go to college and have to do research. The problem is in the grades, high school and older adults that don’t have the primary knowledge of where to get the information. It almost has to be taught in the school as much as I hate to say it.

lesson 9

1. I have an account with ancestry.com and have worked on it for years. I the best part for me is connecting with relatives and sharing information. I am older and have pictures they don't have and they have time to do more research. It has worked well both all of us.

2. I had an uncle that died when the family first got into SD. I found on the census that four children had been born and only three were still living so I have a little window of when he died.

3. It showed the different kinds of information on can find interesting.

4. .Looked for some Kleinsassers but found none. It was interesting on family and name changes. I thought the books looked interesting and I would love to dive in and just read.

5. Checked on Freeman not available neither was Menno or Marion. Parker was the closest and the maps started at 1904, the rail road tracks were on the maps it looked like it was a good sight but it is

Lesson 8



1. There were lots of pictures and letters. He was a strong man with a horse.

 Register of the Lucius Fairchild Papers, 1819-1943

Contact information for University of Wisconsin - Digital Collections

You can find information on archived letters from government to personal correspondence

2. I Took Secretariat the hose and I found breeders records and Maryland Horse Breeders Association archives.

1. He was a man with a horse, and no he wasn’t a great hero. But from there I go into the library of congress and found all kinds of information on many different people.

2. In the search box, type “Sioux” and blog about your results. South Sioux School PTA records, 1926-1981. Minute books, 1895-1899

3.  Salvador DalĂ­ quest really wanted to go to Dolly Pardon. Both are artist but no quite the same in form.

4. How would you and your community use this resource? What other observations can you make?

Freeman is a community that is raped up with history. We have been fortunate to have a great museum and archive. This could help with all sorts of projects including the new addition drive.

5. It was a nice way to get all my favorite artists all in a row it would work great for a report or presentation for work.

 

Lesson 7



2. Alexander was the first library, there were 3049 sources.

3. The interwoven links to other material that are related to subject. External resources - citing also bring you to the information from responding libraries.

    Lesson 6



    1. Lots to choose from, I found it interesting that I got to choose the age level. It went from grade 1 to 12 adult levels so important with understanding and the over whelming factor.

    2. Love it went from Criminal law hand books to complete idiots guide to American presidents. What more does any student need but the idiots guide and cliff notes.
    3. In the search it sent me to smart text searching there I found interesting letters, and Our Elusive Constitution. It was fun to read different articles on the subject. Wish I had more time to play with it.
