SCT 100

Introduction to Computers, also known as SCT 100, is one way for people to become computer users. It is a required course at North Metro for every program area. On Day 5 (beginning in the fall on Day 6) I teach the use of GALILEO. There are so many databases available through GALILEO, I only have time to touch on 4 resources:

• ProQuest
• EbscoHost
• Access Science
• SKS Web select.

I like to compare the big databases to automobiles- if you can drive a Toyota, you can drive a Chevy. The concepts are the same- dashboard might look a little different, gear shift might be in a different place but within 5 minutes you can figure out the ignition, the gas and brakes and the gear shift- off you go!

Explore the databases- notice how similar they are. Don't be afraid to use these super resources (paid for by the citizens of Georgia through their tax dollars).

The password for home use of GALILEO is available from your Georgia librarian.
