I decided to use the EBSCOhost MasterFile Premier, and looked for answers to my question, "what vegetables have calcium." I found a lot of articles, and was happy to find one with answers that I wanted to hear. I went to the "Article Linker" and found the entire article, just 2 more clicks away. I found out that "many green, leafy vegetables are good sources of calcium -kale, collards, bok choy and turnip and mustard greens among them. Other leafy vegetables, particularly spinach and beet greens, though high in calcium, are not good dietary sources of the mineral: oxalic acid in these vegetables combines with the calcium to prevent its absorption by the body." This is something I have been wondering about and glad to know about.
When I looked to see what others had said about this assignment, I found one blogger who was unimpressed with her findings about zinc, and another who went to the consumer edition of the Academic Search Complete, and found a lot of good information. She said she uses these databases all the time, and seemed very comfortable with them. I was impressed, I bet she's a great librarian.
When looking at the eBooks, I searched for Palestine. I didn't see where I could change it to keyword. I found 16 books, varying in scope. Next, I looked up Constitution Day and found 15 titles, not one relating to the U.S. I googled it to see when it is, and it was Sept. 17th. Oh well, I wouldn't look at EBSCO eBooks for this.
I found a few books that were about the history of Nebraska. One was about the dust bowl, and the other was about Native Americans.
I believe this is the last week of our Marvel class and I am marvelling at all the information that is out there and hoping I will remember how to use some of it.
