Week 6 eBooks on EbscoHost

I first started by searching Betsy Ross which only had 4 results that didn’t relate. I then tried Helen Keller which had 8 results but only one was relevant with general information. I tried to go in a different direction and searched South Dakota State Parks. I had better luck with this search having 18 results and many of them were related. I enjoyed how they had guides for many different trails to hike, bike, ski, etc. Once viewing the ebook it was great at the bottom having the option putting the page number in and jumping to the exact page. Also, the option to print or email certain pages is a great feature. Something that would be more user friendly is if the full screen option filled the whole screen. I might have done it wrong but I would enjoy the ebook more on my computer if it fit the whole screen.

After searching Constitution Day I had 21 results. One that relates :

Armstrong, Stephen, and Edward McBride. AP U.S. History. McGraw-Hill, 2004. ebook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 27 Feb. 2012.

A couple of things that I think are very useful with this website is the section most relevant pages from this eBook. It’s great that they have part of the reading to get a general idea and they have the link to view the exact page. The cite option is very user friendly and amazing how they have all the options like APA and MLA.

With the advanced search of Nebraska in PB Publisher I had 56 Results. This area was very interesting having more ebooks about our area because they are from the University of Nebraska Press. Couple of ebooks stuck out write away that would interest some patron’s for example Stories of the Sioux and Myths and Legends of the Sioux.
