Wow! Just clicked the drop down menu to see other ways to search. Very specific. I'm not sure what some of these refer to. Musical composition phrase? There are several "phrase" options. What does "phrase" mean in this context?
Selected title phrase, limited to books, for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. 1151 libraries have the book, including Brookings Public Library. BPL is the top library when I click the link. Apparently BPL owns at least two different copies, since #7 on the list also indicates BPL.
Wouldn't the call number be FIC Smith? In Class Descriptors, the Dewey classification shown is FIC. There are also some LCCNs for this item.
Betty Smith also wrote Joy in the Morning, Tomorrow Will Be Better and Maggie-Now. She also has a play included in The Best One-Act Plays of 1945.
Clicked on subject "poor families - fiction". Got 1165 results in English. That option would be handy in helping patrons find more information on a subject or find read-alikes.
When I clicked Home, I was on the FirstSearch screen that allowed me to search in 13 different databases. Like I always say, serendipity is the spice of life!
And I did remember to click Exit when I was finished.
Hi, Gentle Reader. I like to use the "phrase" search when I know the exact title, author or whatever. I challenge you to go back in and do a title search for Gone with the Wind and then a title phrase search. Interesting differences in results! If BPL owns the book, BPL will always be the top result. We think that's handy. Thanks for your comments here.
