EBooks on EBSCOhost

I searched for cats, selected "apply related words" and "search withing full text of article."  I received over 4,000 results-not all of them related to my search.  I took another look at my options.  I could sort by date, relevance, title, and author.  A lot of the books were medical references for pets.  There was a link below that would let me download the full ebook text.  I could also save or share my findings.

Constitution Day: "Companion to the United States Constitution and its Ammendments," by John R. Vile, 3rd Edition.  "Representing Popular Sovereignty: The Constitution in American Political Culture," by Daniel Lessard Levin.  c. 1999.  "Illustrated Dictionary of Constitutional Concepts," by Robert L. Maddex. c. 1996.

Western History:  I typed in "Nebraska" in the PB Publisher field and the search resulted in many Native American books-Cherokee, Apache, Blackfeet.  It also displayed books about Lewis & Clark, Deadwood and many more western subjects.  By limiting the search this way, you can get a variety of topics on a certain locations.
