Things to Remember

 

Howard County Library

-          Organized by Dewey Decimal, just like our library.

 

-          Has many more poetry books than we do.

 

-          You can access LitFinder  in their online databases, which has some full text poems, with your Howard County Library Cards

 

-          In LitFinder:   select – “Full Text,” “Primary Sources  and “Type of Work – Poem”  to find poetry.

-          In NoodleTools, you will generally start your citations as “Anthology/Book Collection”

 

-          Published print books that are found online in electronic form can be treated as “Books”

 

-          Remember the difference between “Websites” and “electronic materials found on the Internet.
