Virtual Reference Librarian 1

Rebecca came to me with the question "Where can I find a list of children's books that focus on Hispanic Americans?" To narrow her search I asked her: What age group? Elementary School Age. Do you want them written by an Hispanic American? not necessarily. Did you want a picture book or a chapter book? Picture book. Based on these answers, I directed her to a website www.multiculturalchildrenslit.com and showed her the page on Hispanic Americans. Rebecca chose the book My Name is Maria Isabel, and from there we logged on to the Appstate library catalog and searched for the book using a title search. It was available in the ASU main stacks.
