Think the only way to read a book from the NWOSU Libraries is to check out the hardcopy, wait in line for the Kindle, or access our virtual or NetLibrary?  Well, here is one more to add to the list!  EBSCOhost, often used by students to find research articles, also has some popular book titles available!  What's more, EBSCOhost is designed in such a way that it lists each chapter of a book and gives a brief summary of those chapters’ contents.  So if you are only interested in, say, how John Lennon came up with the name Beatles for the band, or want to read a quote taken from a radio interview several hours before his death, all you have to do is scan through the chapter summaries of John Lennon: In His Own Words until something interesting catches your attention.  Access the Humanities International Database or come to the library for personal help using the databases in EBSCOhost.

From Publishers Weekly
Master quote-gatherer Ken Lawrence has put together a collection of bon mots, rounding up a lifetime of Lennon's thoughts on music, fame, love and life. Lennon's wit and trademark sarcasm are well represented, as is his more thoughtful and self-deprecating side, all fired by the controversial Beatle's mistrust of the status quo, his lifelong quest to shake things up and his fervent belief in peace in our lifetime.

"You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate." - John Lennon
