Lesson 6--EBooks on Ebscohost

1. I typed different subjects in and not much would show up. Then I typed in Mexican, lucky the first title was - cooking the Mexican way.  So this e-book had all the information in that you needed. I also checked into other e-books about Mexicans and Mexico. The ebooks would be good so when you went on a trip to Mexico or any country you could refer back to your e-book  to look up information you might have forgotten.
2. The Constitution--I typed this in and there were 175 results. The book "The Constitution, the law, and freedom of expression, 1787-1987" The Table Of Contents was a big help in picking out which book you would use for your paper.
3) Class project in Advanced Search "Changing Image of the City:Planning for Downtown Omaha, 1945-1973 came up. You click into this and it gave you who its by: Daly-Bednarek, Janet R. Universty of Nebraska Press, 1992. eBook, 306p. then the subjects, Database: eBook Collection. You could add to folder. eBook full text, Download (Offline) and a Table of Contents.
To get to this point of information was kind of hard. This program was really hard. I will look into it after this course is over.

  1. It can be hard because you might be wanting to find information that is not held in this resource. Titles were purchased to expand public libraries' non-fiction collections. Thanks for giving this a try and commenting. Were you able to find anything about the US Constitution or published by the University of Nebraska?
