Lesson 7 Ebooks on EBSCO

1. Do a search for a topic that interest you. Note the default search is "Find all my search terms". You may want to change the search to one other options. Review your findings and observations.
I typed in shingles and up came home repair. I corrected my search to shingles, scrolled down and clicked on "shingles in older adults" negative result. Advanced Search, Encyclopedia of Infectious Diseases, and received the answer I was loopking for. Was not user friendly.
2. Back to a new search: Constitution - drop down menu: Constitution of the U.S.- Found 1-10 of 78. Many copies popped up-went to table of contents: part I-V -how to use this book.
3. Western History - Advanced Search: Typed in South Dakota History, 1-10 of 16. - Decided to use "Documents of American Indian Diplomacy: Treaties, Agreements, and Conventions, 1775-1979. Written by : Deloria, Vine; DeMallie, Raymond J. in: Legal History of North America. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press. 1989. eBook. Subjects: Law/ Constitutional; Indians of North America-Treaties. - PDF Full Text, Table of Contents and Most relevant pages from this eBook. This was a fun search.

  1. I'm glad your publisher search was fun! It is one of the different ways to find content. Ebooks on Ebsco can expand your nonfiction collection--so if patrons need history, literary criticism and more Ebooks on Ebsco can help out.

    Thanks for your post,
