Database Scavenger Hunt #4 - We're Researching American History

Submitted by sadie.bruce on Thu, 11/01/2018 - 11:05

For November, in anticipation of my favorite holiday, we're researching American history! Use library eservices or databases to answer four questions. You'll have until the end of the month to complete the questions and either email or interoffice mail the answers to Collection Development, ATTN: Sadie.

Every hunt turned in on time wins some swag! The only rule is you have to use our resources to answer the questions (no googling). You absolutely can team up with coworkers. There's more than one way to get to an answer.  The scavenger hunt is attached. Please let me know if you have trouble opening the file.

The most popular resources used to answer October's questions were:

Question 1 - Libby/Overdrive [1]

Question 2 - Mango [2]

Question 3 - Latino American Experience [3] 

Question 4 - any Ebsco [4] database, the only requirement for translation is you need a full text article in HTML format (this was a tricky one!)

Question 5 - three way tie between Literary Reference Center Plus [5], Books in Print [6], and Novelist Plus [7]
