On WorldCat I searched for Fahrenheit 451 using the keyword Title and limit type to book.
1,016 records were found and 478 of them are in English. The first result shows
that 1428 libraries worldwide have the book Fahrenheit
451. The top library is Brookings Public Library. The call number is for
Dewey 813.54 or LC PZ3.B72453, PS3503.R167. Great feature is clicking on the
author to see other books he/she has written. The link to other works with the
same call number is also very helpful. Cite this item great feature for
students to use. At the top the links to related subject and related authors
will be very helpful when patrons ask for requests based off a certain title or
author. The tabs along the top to change from books to sound will be great
because we have many patrons that enjoy audiobooks.
The first time I searched in OAIster came up a list but then
I had to step away to help a patron and once I returned I was not able to use
OAIster because an error kept coming up. I logged off a few times and tried
again but was never being able to get past the search page without an error
coming up. I hope in the next couple days I will try with better success.
I do hope you get to try OAIster so you can see what it has to offer. Usually, if you close ALL your browser windows and start over, it will come up ok. Thanks for your great comments on WorldCat. You have mentioned several ways you could use this with your patrons. Thanks!
