Geography, Biography, and Pathfinder

Once again, these questions have been more difficult to answer than I expected. I found a few answers at the Rutherford County Library a couple of weeks ago. I then went to Gardner Webb last week and spent a few hours finding most of the rest of the answers there. There are still a few of the biographical questions that I haven't been able to answer, including the Tom Brokaw quote and the Henry VIII question, as well as a couple that have not been answered completely (age difference between Warren Harding and his mistress and religious group of Nathan Bedford Forrest).

I have also been working on my pathfinder. My topic is Rutherford County. I hope that this pathfinder will be useful to library patrons in the future.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Whoa! Two more weeks have passed since the last class. I've enjoyed these questions on Dictionaries, Ready References, and Encyclopedias. I started out searching in my library (Rutherford County Library) and was able to find 6 of the Dictionary questions and 1 of the Encyclopedia questions. I then went to Isothermal and found a few more of the Encyclopedia questions. Some of us went to Gardner Webb and finished the rest of the questions. However, even with several of us looking, we were not able to find the answers to the last 2 questions on the Encyclopedias Search & Discuss guide. A few of the others were difficult to find also, such as the fairy question. I must have heard about that before, because the thought "bruises" suddenly popped in my mind. I looked it up in alphabetical order and sure enough, that was the answer to "How do you know you've been pinched by a fairy"? This is a fun assignment for me. It feels like a treasure hunt.
