My initial search in our collection turned up nothing. In a second search, I limited my search to electronic books and selected a random electronic book. A search within the Ebsco electronic book collection pulled up computer books that made reference to Day Light Savings Time in the text. . This is something I tell English literature students to do when searching for information on a single poem. Sometimes information on a particular topic doesn't rate an entire book but is mentioned within a book on a different subject. Anyway, it wasn't the history of Day Light Savings time.
GALILEO has multiple resources I thought might help. My favorite quick answer place did have enough information : daylight-saving time - Credo Reference Topic (click on the continue reading link).
My search in Encyclopedia Britannica did not pull up an article but when I clicked on Standard Time, within that article was a link to Daylight Savings Time. The article was short but informative. I wonder why it didn't come up in the initial search?
The source that had the most information (with resources noted) was Wikipedia. Yes, the bane of instructors existence had the most complete information with sources. Because I have loaded the GALILEO Toolbar, there were purple Find It buttons next to articles that can be found in GALILEO.
I found answers in 'authoritative' resources but I found the most detail in Wikipedia.
