challenge #3 - gvrl

gvrl... grrrr

did a series search on the "staff" catalog for gvrl, 528 titles came up. sorted by pub date and selected *poetry for students. volume 27* bib #1016806. then went to "public" catalog and did a series search for gvrl and 528 titles came up. sorted by pub date and my selected title (*poetry for students. volume 27*). the title was listed as number 37 - in the "staff" catalog it was listed as #4 - both after sorting by pub date... hmmm... is that interesting? clicked on the web link on the "public" catalog, which brought me to the gvrl page for the book. i clicked on the etable of contents and found an "article" on "My Grandmother's Plot in the Family Cemetery" by CLAUDIA EMERSON to email in as a pdf attachment. then did the citation thingie & emailed it in. and now i've translated my "article" into a language i can't really read.

i searched the vhgmr for soylent green - the electronic version matched up word for word with the print copy i have in the branch.

i used gvrl today with a couple of students who had projects due on francis drake. it was nice to be able to show the students & the parents how to use an online database instead of google - and how to cite.
