The library is wonderful!

Grammar Point: Coordinating Conjunctions Grammar Assignment: How many coordinating conjunctions can you find? Here’s a hint…each one of FANBOYS is in here!

I’ve taken to researching the Nassau Library Catalog, for there are so many options! The catalog provides a list of everything in each library in Nassau County, yet the search can be narrowed to just one library’s resources, depending where one resides. I like to research different topics such as teaching, mythology, and theology. Along with theology goes philosophy, so I look for materials that provide comprehensive looks at Eastern/Western schools of thought. The search in the catalog becomes a kind of game: What shall I research first? How should I search, by author, title, or subject? Where is the item located? I prefer books as my primary materials of research, but the library has databases, periodicals, videos, DVDs, CDs, and audio cassettes! It’s such an exciting time! Maybe it can be challenging to find a specific item, but never boring! The best part about all this is going to the library and finding the item you so diligently searched for…quest accomplished!
