[NFBMT] Good to see Montana Books on BARD

Mon Mar 1 11:04:08 UTC 2021

Just put something relating to Montana in the BARD search field, the one for 
search the collection.  For instance, you could put Montana history, Montana 
biographies, Montana authors, or even just Montana.  You have to be a little 
creative to ferret them out.  If you put in Montana history, you get 254 
results.  That should keep you busy for a week end.  Joy

Hi again,

It still is good to see those Montana books on  Bard!  I'm glad I stumbled on 
what I did!  I was only getting these on cassette.  How many hours did it take 
for you to come up with that list or is there a section I can go to so I can 
find these for myself without spending many hours, like going through the 
latest books!
