Reflect on how students and teachers could access data about this particular book. What would be the most common ways?
It is interesting to look at one entry in detail.
For my consideration, I'm going to think about how I search.
I search usually by topic at school when helping students.
I have shown them to search for Baseball, even when looking up FIC books on baseball, as they can then decided if they want FIC or NONFIC. Students rarely search authors because they can just go and look easily alphabetically in the FIC stacks, and rarely would anyone search an author of a NONFIC book. I did a search today using Historical Fiction, and was quite concerned that not all book I knew were historical fiction turned up. I'm going to have to look into that one.
At home, when I search VIRL, I tend to use the author I am interested in reading, or I might search a particular title I want to find. Only once, when looking for some "teach your kid to read" type books, did I search VIRL for a topic.
