Adding to GALILEO
I haven't added the Limerick site (yet) but I have added two search engines-
SCIRUS: a search engine for scientific inquiry and FLAMENCO: Flexible Information Access using Metadata in Novel Combinations.
SCIRUS searches through science web sites and journals. If you'ld like to try it, the address is http://www.scirus.com
FLAMENCO has two demos- the Fine Arts inages from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and Architectural images from the UC Berkeley Architechture Visual Resources Library. It's URL is http://bailando.sims.berkeley.edu/flamenco.html
Science and Art- a wonderful combination.
Both web sites will be a part of North Metro's GALILEO on Saturday!
you get the password for home use in Georgia of GALILEO from the librarian

Limericks
This is a fun site- it's not on GALILEO (but I may add it to the list)
The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form
http://www.oedilf.com/db/Lim.php
(of course, you know it's a play on the Oxford English Dictionary- which is available through GALILEO)
You can find full text limericks in LION (Literature On-Line) through GALILEO (over 240 limericks)

Humid
It is getting humid in Acworth. The rains have started in the afternoons with thunder and lightning. It's a good time to read for fun- if the electricity goes out you can't watch TV!
We do have a few "story" books in the literature section.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out in July- though we don't have that series - we do have a biography of J.K. Rowling- titled, appropiately enough, J.K. Rowling: A Biography by Connie Ann Kirk (PR 6068 .O93 Z739 2003). Might be fun to read about the woman who started such a renaissance in reading for fun!
Check out our card catalog on-line through either GALILEO or the North Metro web site to see what we might have that you'd enjoy reading during a thunderstorm!
