Week 7 - eBooks on EBSCOhost

1.  I searched for multiple sclerosis.  The basic search gave me 41 results.  The advanced search, using SU (subject), gave me 4 results.  There are many advanced search options.  You can limit your results to full text, published data, language, and also if you wan an available download.

I'm going to have to read through some of these eBooks at home - some great material!


2.  In advanced search, I typed in Constitutional Day with no field stated.  This resulted in 28 hits.  Some appropriate titles would be:
 - The Bill of Rights - Thomas T. Lewis
 - The Reader's Companion to American History - Eric Foner
 - The Criminal Law Handbook:  Know Your Rights, Survive the System - Paul Bergman

When using "Smart Texting," I had 1613 results.  Some of these titles:
 - Representing Popular Sovereignty:  The Constitution in American Politcal...
 - The American Republic:  Constitution Tendencies & Destiny - Orestes Augustus Brownson


3.  I found 82 results.  Books were found on so many subjects:  Deserts, settlement of the West, Indians of North America, historic trails, early fur trade, the American Indian, guides to Oklahoma museums, among many others.  There would be something here for the student to include in their projects!

  1. Great search results. The publisher search brings up some interesting hits. I like the idea to share them with students for projects. Thanks for the post! Julie
