I had a terrible time yesterday when trying to do this search.....I am wondering why today I had no problem at all finding applicable information!! Unless someone else was also using the book, as I see only one person can use a book at a time.
Also, the first time I just used the keyword basic search for Constitution Day. The second time I put the words in parenthesis and that really helped narrow the results. Also using Citizenship Day got several hits.

I found 85 hits when using Nebraska and 77 hits when using Oklahoma. The titles suggested history from those areas. Interesting to see that by using only states for publisher that you could fine items. Just for fun I tried South Dakota and Minnesota but found no hits! I guess I don't understand why Nebraska and Oklahoma got hits. And how would a user know to even search by publisher??
Very interesting report, dlueb. I'm glad you were willing to try again and got good results the second go-round. That is really the key to good research. If it doesn't work one way, try another. That's one reason we include the publisher search--to show flexibility in researching. University Presses of Nebraska & Oklahoma are part of NetLibrary's collection. South Dakota's & Minnesota's university or regional presses do not have agreements with NetLibrary, so you won't get results with a publisher search.
