EBSCOhost

When I first did a topic search of my choice there were no records found...I like to scrapbook. Tried scrapbook and scrap booking...nothing available.  I then went to crafts to see what was available. It comes up with books for craft ideas and any other items that have the word craft in it.  I looked at the book Crafts to Make in the Summer - thought maybe would find something to use for summer reading.  I did find one really cute project called Flashing Fireflies - easy to follow directions and pictures. That is what I like - can see what you are making...not having to guess.

For the Constitution search -- you gets lots of choices in the drop down to choose from.  I found a couple of books I might have used when was a student to look up information.  I would have used Speeches of the American Presidents By. Janet Podell and another one would be Dictionary of American History By. Thomas L. Purvis.

For the advance search I put in Nebraska and the items that came up showed they were - University of Nebraska Press.  Not sure if that is what I was supposed to find or not....but that is what my search result was.

  1. You found exactly what you were supposed to, Librarian Bri. Good work! Thanks for your comments. We think ebooks on EbscoHost helps expand libraries' non-fiction collections. You firefly activity sounds fun.
