Lesson 6 continued

Thank you for the quick response to my plea for help!

I was able to complete the assignment successfully.  I looked at both NE and OK and found that most of the history sources listed were published by the University of Nebraska and the University of Oklahoma respectively.  One title that caught my eye in the Oklahoma search was The Rapid City Indian School. This is a book I would not normally be drawn to for traditional library check out.  However, I think that even giving users the chance to browse more titles opens up other possibilities for expanded research or even leisure non-fiction reading.

Lesson 6 - eBooks on EBSCOhost

It's been awhile, but I'm back to the blog.

I chose anatomy as my search term.  I came up with a number of resources including many that would likely be texts for college classes.  I don't know how often my students would use these resources, but if they needed books for a research paper, this would be a much better avenue than looking at our small nonfiction selection.

For the constitution day question, I'd probably recommend The Complete Idiot's Guide to the American Presidents.  It wouldn't be too technical, but it would give my students enough information to get started.

I am having trouble completing #3 on this lesson.  I am not sure where to put the PB.  I see it under field codes, but there is nowhere to select it. Any ideas what I'm doing incorrectly?
