I wanted to get a better "feel" for this nonfiction collection, so I next searched diabetes and found 29 books. Scrolling through them, again I found items I would like to read. I definitely need more practice.
When I searched for Constitution, I used full text and found 14 books. The two books I would recommend were The Declaration of Independence of the United States and Representing Popular Soverneighty: The Constitution in American Political Culture. This would be very useful to students when more than one student was writing about a topic. Each student would be able to search NetLibrary and have access to sources that are required by many.
I searched for Nebraska in NetLibrary, "Advanced Search". I found 6 results. My only issue with the results was that fiction and nonfiction were combined. This may cause some confusion for students. I am not sure if there was some way to sort this when doing the search. Again, I found entries that I would love to read
Amy, thanks for your comments. I agree that searching NetLibrary is tricky. I usually make use of the "related topics" suggested on the right side of the screen to tweak my search. We think NetLibrary expands libraries' collections and makes information available 24/7.
