Lesson 6 Ebooks on Ebsco

Lesson 6 Ebooks on Ebsco Host

1. I did several searches and found some books for each search. As the books were all pre-1999 I am not sure that I would recommend this for many users. Depending on the subject some materials may not be very accurate. I found the pages difficult to navigate; the zoom did not work on any of the pages I tried, the small print only appeared on the top half what looks like a full sheet word document and table of contents pages looked blank. After finishing, I can’t say that I would recommend this site to just anyone, I would have to know more about their purpose and their computer ability as the features are a bit awkward to navigate.

Constitution day searches brought up several history books, but descriptions of each did not seem to really fulfill the request. Finding information in any of them seemed laborious for such a search. 

For Western history, a search using  Nebraska in the publisher line brought up nearly all titles published regionally. One was a document on US Indian Policy, which looked like it may be too cumbersome for most students to use. A majority were from the Native American perspective although one on the Orphan Train could provide a different view. Another  title was ‘Fort Laramie to Wounded Knee’ but again could also be a predominately Native perspective; this would not be quickly apparent but could be useful depending on the assignment.
