Ebooks on Ebscohost Wk 6

Sinus infection was the topic I chose for my basic search this week and got 19 results.There was a broad range of subject matter from alternative and herbal remedy books to healthy eating, headache help, dental and colds, flu and asthma. I tried the advanced search, added to look for the subject (SU) but got no results so I used a pop up from the site and took advantage of the SmartText search and got 17 hits. You have many page options to choose from; format, image quick view, results per page, and page layout. I picked "The Sinus Sourcebook" then checked into the table of contents. While reading the page an error occurred (darn) requiring me to log again. What I liked most when choosing a book was the option "most relevant pages from this e-book" as it is a huge time-saver. "Search history" is also a plus. You can rerun your previous searches which is great if you can't get right back to it and don't remember what book/s you had already looked through. If you edit it, there are new searches. I clicked into the "New features" and found real time news is updated every 15 minutes, there is an Android App and 3 new languages have been added to the interface translation. I listened choosing each accent just to make sure there was a difference. Images are available but if you are not allowed to use it, an email contact is listed to possibly get permission.
2. Constitution Day is September 17th (my brother's birthday) and we recognize the adoption of the United States Constitution. I got 21 results using the basic search and 18 using advanced search and SmartText. The choices, I felt, were not that good if you were searching for Constitution Day in general so I changed my search to "Constitutional history" with 68 results. I did one more change to "Constitution and the United States" with again 68 results. I guess it depends on what you are looking for but "The Constitution of the United States of America,1787" (bk #62) seemed to be the best book for info on Constitution Day.
I clicked into EBSCO support and found trainings and tutorials. In "Success Center" there are useful links for librarians, ideas for marketing, fundraising and survey tools. There are also downloadable product logos, buttons, icons and more to promote the EBSCO databases.
3. If you choose PB Publisher with the search "Nebraska" you get 88 results all having The University of Nebraska Press as the publisher of each book. For Oklahoma you get 82 hits for books all having The University of Oklahoma as the publisher. There are many books listed having to do with the American West so I am guessing those particular publishers are noted for publishing this subject matter.
Seems each database has gotten increasingly difficult to navigate. I think for me, I would have been better off watching the tutorial. There never is a lack of information or a multitude of ways to do a search. It is nice there is a consistency with some of the tabs. If you are familiar with the information each tab has then you don't waste time exploring it again. Well, onward to the next week and behind again.
