Lesson 6 -- EBooks on EbscoHost
(formerly NetLibrary)
I decided to do a search on South Dakota. I narrowed the search to South Dakota History
and found 5 results. I looked at the
book, Bachelor Bess The Homesteading
Letters. My great grandparents moved
to South Dakota in the late 1890’s. I
think this book and others that I see would help me realize what life was like
during that time. Another book is After
the West was Won by Paula Nelson which describes a period in South
Dakota from 1900-1917. As I reviewed my
researching I realized that topic of South Dakota can be broken down into
different categories and the categories can also be broken down.
I did a search for fairy tales.
There was a list of the following books with colors: The Violet Fairy Book, The Blue Fairy Book,
The Blue Book, The Yellow Fairy Book and the Red Fairy Book. Each of these were written by Andrew Lang. It was great to see the actual cover of the
book and the colors. It appears you could find quite a few old fairy tales to
read in these books! No wonder the
grandmother described in the search could recall these books.
The only negative thing about the EBooks is that I find I have to
zoom in on the pages and make the print bigger.
If I don’t, the small print seems I strain my eyes.
Thank you for your wonderful post! You found some excellent sounding books. The looked into your concern about the small print--if you use the "zoom in" feature when reading the book it does seem to stay "zoomed in" even when you turn pages of the same book. Hopefully that helps!
