7 - ArchiveGrid and CAMIO
It's taken me a long time to complete this lesson as I had many interruptions, etc. that stopped me mid-lesson . . . as I'm sure many have . . but I did find in the ArchiveGrid interesting information . . I hadn't realized that Sitting Bull had gone to Canada for sometime . . . and I found several citations of books and other materials under family last names . . this could be very usefull for tose doing geneology . . . As for CAMIO . . . I was a bit frustrated as the artists I was searching for were often not found and so I finally went with old standards Picasso, etc . . . I did create a list of favorites and played around with them . . . how fun to be able to order the slides and be able to utilize them. . .

Thanks for your comments, Book Arts. We think historians and genealogists will like ArchiveGrid and may even plan travel around the owning institutions! Glad you found good stuff there. Don't know which artists you were looking for in CAMIO, but another participant noted that SD artists Harvey Dunn & Oscar Howe are not represented. We also learned that the resource does not forgive spelling. :) Glad you were able to see the value of it, and we hope you will remember to use these with patrons when appropriate.
