1. I did a search on sewing since I am currently teaching two sewing classes. The first book that came up was The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sewing. The rest of the searches were not even related to sewing. Things about the internet and fort worth came up. The search results tell the books title, the author, the publisher, the publishing date, and what other topics it could be searched under. You can view the ebook full text, the table of contents or the most relevant pages from the Ebook. Clicking on the title gives you more detailed information about the book and the most relevant pages from the ebook. On the left hand side there is the option to view the book full text. It appears that the book in full text is a scanned in version of the book. The viewer gives options to go next, fit width to page, type in the page number you are looking for and zoom in or out on the information. On the left hand side of the viewer you can view the table of contents and click on parts you would like to see.
2.The recommendations I could make to the students needing more information on the constitution would be as follows:
Representing Popular Sovereignty : The Constitution in American Political Culture
Our Elusive Constitution : Silences, Paradoxes, Priorities
The Constitution, the Law, and Freedom of Expression
The Constitution of the United States of America
3. I typed in Oklahoma when doing the PB publisher advanced search. I found multiple titles about the old West and Native American culture. One book came up about ancient Egypt! There were 80 titles found. The top five titles sorted by relavance included:
Biodiversity and Native America
The Western Range Revisited : Removing Livestock From Public Lands to Conserve Native Biodiversity
America's National Historic Trails
The Rapid City Indian School, 1898-1933
The Great Goddesses of Egypt
Good work, Elizabeth! Another hint to searching in Ebooks in Ebsco is that when you find what you want, click on the title and look for "Categories," which is what we would call "Subjects." Click on the categories link to see what other titles there might be. Thanks for your comments here!
