I went to Masterfile Premier and searched for Good Housekeeping. There is a Publication Detail that provides ISSN, publisher, address, subjects covered, URL, frequency, bibliographic records ( 01/01/1984 -present ) and full text ( 01/01/1996 to present. ) I searched for a coulple of craft weaving magazines that were not listed. When I searched by subject for crafts I found 27 magazines.
Using Masterfile Premier basic search I entered " zinc food sources. I got 14 results then refined my search to full text articles. The first of 5 articles, Don't Forget the Zinc from the Saturday Evening Post listed good sources of zinc as mest, fortified cereals, and beans. I searched for Harlem Renaissance and got 662 hits. Having no knowledge of this subject I limited by search to reference books. Harlem Renaissance by Keira Stevenson was a wonderful overview of this topic and gave me enough information to start my research.
Ebsco eBooks
Digital Literacy is on my mind so I searched for an e-book. The first title, a 92 page book by James Paul Gee was very interesting. I read from the "most relevant pages from this eBook" and think that when I find time I will come back and read the entire book. I am intrigued by the phrase " literacy practices embedded in contemporay popular culture."
Constitution Day. I did not found anything that I thought would be a good match. The history books
are long and more scholarly than needed for this topic.
Oklahoma in the publisher box gives you 105 results all published by the University of Oklahoma Press. I narrowed my search by putting history in the search box. There were many books about history published by the university that were not about Oklahoms so I narrowed my search again and got 19 books, most of them were about Oklahoma history.
I liked the home page of the ebook collection. I did quite a bit of browsing and will come back to spend more time looking around.
