Lesson 7: Ebooks on EbscoHost

1. Topic of interest - Leadership Skills

Findings and observations:  I thought there were some interesting and useful books on this topic.  One such title was The Rookie Manager: a guide to surviving your first year in management -(hit relevant pgs.) certain co-workers at the same level serve as a model for your own leadership.
In another title Words from Great Business Leaders - advice from Madame C.J. Walker, Getty and someone at Southwest Airlines.  The advice from Southwest was good - leadership said "value time one spends with your people more than anything else you do."
Then I changed the search terms to leadership development.  Several of the same titles appeared using these terms.  I thought both searches produced good information on leadership skill/development.

2. Constitution Day: 

I had trouble here.  I'm not sure if I got out of the ebook section or if there just wasn't much using the term Constitution Day.  To get something I went to Student Research Center and got a Time for Kids article.  It was okay and the article addressed Constitution Day.
I opted out of the system and went back into Ebooks on Ebsco and got a couple more titles that would be helpful to students looking for information.  This search produced more relevant information.  Titles included Proclamation 8862 - Constitution Day and Citizen Day, Celebrating constitution Day by Cathy Carpenter, Constitution Day by Bradford Wilson and finally We the People: Constitution & Citizenship Day.  It helps when you're in the right area!

3.  Western History:

Oklahoma - I felt there were many books to chose from for a report.  Some titles held unique stories or information that could set a report apart from the group.  Here is a short list with an asterisk by titles with more "interesting information." 
Guide to Oklahoma
*Oklahoma Treasures /Treasure Tales
*Oklahoma Name Places
**Two Stories of Oklahoma by Hamlin Garland - I chose this because I read some of his stuff in college, back in the day.
