Lesson 6

In the EBooks on EbscoHost, I typed in the term "cooking."  There were 121 hits.  I scrolled through the list and looked at one called, "Cooking the Australian Way."  There is a handy Table of Contents listing to the left of the screen.  I tried to email or print a page from this, but the publisher had blocked access to doing so.  So, I scrolled further through the list of 121 hits, and found one titled "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sewing."  It doesn't really have anything to do with cooking, but since the term "cooking" was used a couple times in the text, it was in my results list.  I looked at this book and found I was able to both email and print a couple pages from the text.  There is a limit of 60 pages, but this would be a handy tool for someone doing research and wanting to be able to reference some specific pages later.

When I searched "constitution and United States," these are some of the results I had:

     Companion to the United States Constitution and Its Amendments Vile, John R. 3rd ed. Greenwood Publishing Group. 2001. eBook. 326p.
     Representing Popular Sovereignty : The Constitution in American Political Culture Levin, Daniel Lessard. In: SUNY Series, American Constitutionalism. State University of New York Press. 1999. eBook. 289p. 
     Illustrated Dictionary of Constitutional Concepts  Maddex, Robert L. Congressional Quarterly Press. 1996. eBook. 349p. 
     Our Elusive Constitution : Silences, Paradoxes, Priorities  Hoffman, Daniel N. In: SUNY Series in American Constitutionalism. State University of New York Press. 1997. eBook. 299p.

A quick browsing of the results list impresses me with the thought that these resources would be appropriate for upper-level students, but certainly not for elementary age students.

As I expected, searching for the term "Oklahoma" in the Publisher field of the Advanced search yielded results with the term "Oklahoma" somewhere in the Publisher name information. A quick spot-check of the results list makes it appear they are all from the University of Oklahoma Press.
