Net Library

The Net Library provides a wealth of non-fiction books with the latest ones copyrighted in 2006. These ebooks are full text books that one can read online. To explore the site, I typed in "keyboarding". 188 ebooks were identified. The cover of the books are pictured as well as information on how the books relate to what you searched and the copyright date. The ebooks found covered many aspects of keyboarding such as ergonomics, mutliple intelligences, disabilities, secretaries, and dictionary for tech shorthand/acronyms. By adding one additional word and searching "keyboarding class" the search was narrowed to 46 ebooks that are closely related to the specific field I will be teaching. As I browsed through the results I found what appears to be some great resources.

Next I searched "Constitutional Day" which resulted in 1004 ebooks. If you search "Constitution" over 5000 ebooks surface. The Federalist (Cliff Notes), Constitution of the Confederate States, A Companion to the United States Constitution and It's Admendments are a few titles that could e used to expand student resources. One could also find to consitutions of other countries to compare and contrastwith that if the US. There are many resources on the US Constitution, Declaration ofIndependence and the Bill of Rights.

The final search I conducted was on "Nebraska" to see what I could find for a "Western history unit". Over 3000 ebooks were found using the "full text" option. When searching "keyword" option, the search was narrowed to 90 books. To narrow search further using the keyword option, I searched "Nebraska and Wounded Knee" to see what I could find related to Wounded Knee at Nebraska" and found 4 resources available. So the more specific the words you use, you can find ebooks geared for exactly what you are looking.
