Lesson 7 part 2
Discovery Exercise part 2
The OAIster (pronounced “oyster”) database is one of the few mostly full text databases in WorldCat. Choose OAIster from the dropdown menu next to “Search in database.” In the “Keyword” search box, select “Subject Phrase.” In the search box, type South Dakota. Select one of your results. Click on the link next to “Access.” Add to your Lesson 7 blog posting by writing about your findings and your impressions of this tool.
No surprise here many of the articles are about agriculture.
I chose an article about how South Dakota is making the most of their transportation improvements, because of the bridge collapse that recently happened in Minnesota I thought this would be interesting. The article appears in pure text which makes it a bit difficult to read but it's nice if you are in need of the information right away.
