I looked up Mew Mew as a title phrase. I wanted to find Tokyo mew mew. Volume One, and I did! It is located in 381 libraries worldwide. The library at the top of the list is Ames Public Library. The call number for the book at this library is YA MANGA TOK V1. Linking to the author's name brought up more books in the Tokyo mew mew series. I linked to the subject Heroes--Juvenile fiction--Comic books, strips, etc. This found two more books.
When I conducted a search using OAIster, I did not see where to select "Subject Phrase." I did the search using the keywords South Dakota and I found over 8,000 results. I opened a few of the links, but I'm still not sure what I am looking at. I'm going to wait and see what other people post about this source.
OK. Thanks for the help with this source Timmi and Jane. I made sure I was in advanced search mode and had better results. I really like using this Blog and feeling like we have our own support group :)
If you go into the advanced search page on OAIster, you can select subject phrase from the drop down menu. I got 764 results.
ReplyDeleteThanks for chiming in here, Timmi. To add, after you do the subject phrase search and click into a result, you will see a field in the record called "Access," usually followed by a url that should take you to the item. In some cases, the links have not been kept current or you need a password to get to the full-text, but it's still a good resource for serious researchers. Thanks for your comments about WorldCat. I have learned about a lot of new (to me) books by reading your blogs!
