Was somewhat overwhelmed with this exercise. I think, again, all the information is there if you have more detailed clues. I tried Herbert Hoover and thought I would just get info on him, the past president. Instead I got anything that had Hoover or Herbert in it, which I understand. So just scrolled through until I found some things that might work.
When looking for titles on Constitution Day I was amazed at the nonfiction items. I thought Bill of Rights, Law101 and American Congress would be interesting to look into further.
I looked up Nebraska and Oklahoma for general info on the state. Then did the PB Publisher box as requested. There I got all books published from these two companies. You really would need to know "what" they published to continue on here. That confussed me more. Would rather try and find the subject matter and narrow it down.
Once again, students and families have a wide variety of resources here from SD State Library. This website would be all they would need to get the info for reports and assignments.
Interesting search on Herbert Hoover. It made me curious so I checked out the results. If you limit (after your search) on the left hand side by subject >> presidents there are just four results and they all sound quite useful. "Facts About the Presidents" seems to be the most applicable for your information needs.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the Publisher search was confusing--it was more of an exercise for you to see there are other options for searching than just title/author etc and because the University of Nebraska Press and University of Oklahoma Press both publish some really neat western/South Dakota relevant titles.
Thank you for your post,
