For my "South Dakota" search, I found the photographs especially fascinating and disturbing: one taken back in 1908 of a log shanty with a flag, woman and 7 boys; one taken in 1931 of a school of the prairie; one of a horse and sled; one taken in 1891 of American soldiers gathering up dead Sioux Indians after Wounded Knee Massacre in South Dakota, etc. My fourth grade son started looking over my shoulder and found the old photographs quite interesting.
I clicked into "Observations on Bats at Badlands National Park, South Dakota" and was disheartened when all I could find was an abstract. When I clicked into another publication, I noticed a box off to the right that said "Download". I then went back to the publication on bats and found a similar option.
I'm not sure how my students/teachers could use this particular tool, but I did find it interesting.
Hi, Mrs. K! Thanks for taking a peek at this one. It is for serious researchers, but could be helpful for history/social studies classes, especially for photos. I agree that sometimes the "download" button is hard to see. That is because OAIster links out to the supplying university's page and that's how it is on their page. Thanks for your comments!
