EBooks on EbscoHost

I searched for ebooks on mythology as I have a staff member teaching this class.  There were many useful ebooks for this search term that the students could reference as well.  I tried the same search term with all the search modes and basically received the same results.  I did like the hint for the SmartText Searching that allowed you to search a phrase, paragraph and even whole pages.  I had 106 results for mythology but when I typed in Greek mythology, 16 results were presented.  I have always liked the option of previewing the table of contents to decide if the book will be useful for my projects.  There are many tools with ebooks that I personally like such as dictionary, search within the ebook and the bookmark and annotate (which I would think teachers would find extremely useful).  Citation is available again.  I also liked how you could add your article findings into a folder.  I had to create an account.  I thought maybe my World Book or Learning Express accounts would work here but they didn’t.

Looking for items for Constitution Day lead me to multiple items I am sure a particular social studies teacher will find useful.

Foner, Eric, and John Arthur Garraty. Reader's Companion To American History. n.p.: Houghton-Mifflin, 1991. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 4 Mar. 2013.

Stewart, James Brewer, and Warren E. Burger. The Constitution, The Law, And Freedom Of Expression, 1787-1987. n.p.: Southern Illinois University Press, 1987. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 4 Mar. 2013.

The Articles Of Confederation. n.p.: BiblioBytes, n.d. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 4 Mar. 2013.

Hough, Franklin Benjamin. The Articles Of Confederation. n.p.: Project Gutenberg, n.d. eBook Collection (EBSCOhost). Web. 4 Mar. 2013.

I did note that the last book I listed is from Project Gutenberg.  And Constitution Day is September 17, 2013.

The advanced search, selecting PB (publisher) and then Nebraska brought me many (56) results in which was published by the University of Nebraska.  This makes sense that local state publishers would focus on their own state “western” history.  I did like the breakdown of my search in the left sidebar under subject and category.  I find relevance in my searches important but found some different and interesting findings by going to the last page of results.  I get why the search was for Nebraska or Oklahoma.  There was nothing when I searched South Dakota but there were results that covered our state with the searches given.
