Lesson 7 Ebooks on EBSCO


 1. Do a search for a topic that interests you. Note the default search is "Find all my search terms." You may want to change the search to one of the other options. Review your findings and observations.

I typed in craft books and came up with 103 results.
I then refined my search to learning how to knit, 1 book was available.

 2. Constitution Day is looming and several students need more material. Search EBooks on EbscoHost and recommend some appropriate titles.

I did a search on constitution day and 37 ebooks popped up, not all of them pertained to the U.S. constitution.

Some titles that would be appropriate for students would be:
Title:
Colonies and Revolution
The Bill of Rights

 3. A class is doing projects on Western history. They have exhausted the library's print collection. In EBooks on EbscoHost, click "Advanced Search." In the "Select a Field" box, choose "PB Publisher." In the search box, type "Nebraska" or "Oklahoma." Report your findings.
I typed in Oklahoma and chose PB Publisher.  82 results came up
There were books about Native America, deserts, early fur trade and Oklahoma place names just to name a few.
So many diverse subjects. It also gives you the option of selecting the publication date you would like.
