Part1
1. I searched the term Suicide Prevention because that is something our school is dealing with right now. Many excellent resources came up in the search. There are 191 books by that title. The first book on the list, Suicide Prevention a Holistic Approach, can be found in 746 libraries. LC: RC569; Dewey: 362.28/7 is the call number information. This is a compilation of testimony basically which was provided to congress. It would be nice to be able to search this by zip code...then, we could see what is the nearest/most readilby available resource for us. However, I did notice that the publication date(s) were quite old. Users would need to keep this in mind when accessing these books, as is the case any time we use hard copy text.
2. Next, I looked up attachment parenting. I found many resources here as well- 260 items actually. These books sounded very interesting. I actually ended up clicking on the articles tab on the top and found over 100 articles. However, I still had a hard time full-text information. I really think that this site would be most useful to college students and even individuals pursuing advanced degress where they have the time, motivation and need for super in-depth research. I don't see high school students being willing to invest enough to pursue resources within this database. This is handy to know about though, if I ever pursue an advanced degree.
You are so right, FCS! This is to find international materials. If you click on "Libraries Worldwide" link, you will see that libraries holding that title are listed by SD first, and from that you could determine which is closest to you. You can use the subject heading links to find more on your topics and can specify dates, so that you don't get material that's too old. Thanks for trying this out and commenting!
