Lesson 6 - 1

1. Do a search for a topic that interests you. Note the default search is "Find all my search terms." You may want to change the search to one of the other options. Review your findings and observations.

I chose scrapbooking ideas, my search generated two results; I think I had set my search options too strict, I changed my search to just scrapbooking and received the same results.

I chose a few other topics just to see how the results would come out.  This can be a great resource if you have the time to search for a spacific topic.

Lesson 6 -- EBooks on EbscoHost (formerly NetLibrary)

1. Do a search for a topic that interests you. Note the default search is "Find all my search terms." You may want to change the search to one of the other options. Review your findings and observations.
In my search for articles about scrapbooking, my most precious me time hobby, I found this comical article about the Michael's stores.

Scrapbooking, yarn and Godiva.

I this this resource could be a bit overwhelming if you are not very spacific in what you are searching for. First I typed the word "scrapbook" in the search box.  The search generated over 8,000 differant articles and books, Yikes!
