1. I did my search on "To Kill a Mockingbird." When I did the full text search I got 141 ebooks. Some of them just mentioned the title within the book. I do like that you can search within the ebook and see where the title appears and decide whether you can use it or not. I have a teacher that is looking for material for a lower level high school English class. It would be nice if each of the students in her class could be on the same book such as Cliff Notes to read the notes and synopsis together. When I did a keyword search I only got 2 books, Cliff Notes and Blooms. These two were about the book itself. I was disappointed that the classic were not available in ebooks.
2. I am not sure what projects the students do for Constitution Day. I did a full-text search for the United States Constitution Day. "Public Papers" by Thomas Jeffereson and "The Constitution of the United States of America" are two books that might help the students.
3. Using Nebraska in the advanced search as the publishers of the netLibrary Public 2 eContent Collection, which is what came up when I went into netlibrary, I did not get any results. I then put western history as Keyword and Publisher as Nebraska and still did not get any results. I then tried Oklahoma and still did not get any results. I have read some of the blogs and they did get results. What am I do wrong?
Hi, Central! You will be more apt to find commentary on fiction than fiction itself. NetLibrary does contain some public domain fiction titles (published before 1923), but NetLibrary's titles are mostly non-fiction, purchased by the State Library to expand libraries' collections for ready-access. In answer to #3, Julie Erickson will be contacting you, as it seems that the NetLibrary screen that came up prevented your success. Sorry for your troubles on that one and thanks for your comments.
