ATTENTION: The last day to check out books is Wednesday, May 8th, and all books are due back on Thursday, May 9th! This will give us enough time to collect books, put them back on the shelf, and complete our annual inventory. Thanks for your help with this.

Remember that even though you won't be able to check out books after the 8th, you may still come to the library to use our books!


LOOK BELOW! November 22, 2013 can't come quickly enough. The teaser trailer for Catching Fire has been released!

GALILEO

·       GALILEO stands for Georgia Library Learning Online, an initiative of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. A World Wide Web-based virtual library, GALILEO provides access to multiple information resources, including secured access to licensed products. Participating institutions may access over 100 databases indexing thousands of periodicals and scholarly journals. Over 2000 journal titles are provided in full-text. Other resources include encyclopedias, business directories, and government publications.


To gain access to these databases off-campus, you need a password.
Current password information is available in the media center.

 


 

Search Engines

·       Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.

·       Google Books works just like a web search. When Google finds a book with content that contains a match for your search terms, they'll link to it in your search results. If the book is out of copyright, or the publisher has given Google permission, you'll be able to see a preview of the book and in some cases the entire text. If it's in the public domain, you're free to download a PDF copy. Pretty cool!
