1. I did an advanced search using Martin Luther as as "named person," limiting the "type" to "books," and setting the "subtype" limits to "Juvenile" and "not fiction." This gave me 932 results, but the first several were referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. So, I added the term "reformation" as a subject search. This reduced the number of results to 57. I think a good book to recommend would be "Martin Luther : father of the Reformation" Author: Somervill, Barbara A Accession Number: 61499876 which is owned by the Watertown Public Library.
2. I used the terms "graphic novel" as a subject phrase search along with the keyword "classic*" and limited my search to English language books. This gave me 16 results, which doesn't seem like very many. I thought I would get more results. Of those, I would probably choose to add "The Hobbit" published by Ballantine Books. [Addendum: After finishing my post, I looked at a couple other people's posts and saw that they had many more results than what I got for my search. I realize now that I should have used the terms "graphic novels" (not "graphic novel") and that gives many more results.]
3. I did a Title Phrase search for "my fair lady" and limited the search to "musical scores." I had 500 results, which is a lot, but the first page of results had some good options. I chose the second in the list, which is vocal score. The accession number is: OCLC: 26429906
Thanks for your post! You found some excellent resources to recommend and did a great job of using the limiters in WorldCat. Thanks for reading other people's posts to see what they searched for too.
