That is fun and fiendish. (The perfect teaching combination in my opinion.) I'm putting this in my Ideas to Adapt if Not Outright Steal file, in case I get a chance to teach with my own materials again in the future. Richard A.

They have to create a bib record, find the uniform title for Cinderella, create name authority records for me (such a lot can be done with my name -- La Donna with and without the space, maiden name ...). Of course I don't tell them they have to do all of that -- just that they need a bib record, and if they can't find a name authority they have to create one. Stir as needed!!
