165 resources

There are 165 resources available to the North Metro Tech user in GALILEO. Each library has the ability to add resources (web sites and databases) to their portion of GALILEO. We've added 43 resources that support the programs at NMTC.

You can find the NMTC specific resources in two ways.
1. Go to Find a Database by Name (on the left side of the screen, just under Proquest)
....Type in nmtc
.......Keep the default selection Name+Description
..........Click on Go
The list of 43 resources will come up.

2. You can go to Databases A-Z
.......the resources selected and added just for NMTC will have the NMTC logo next to them. In the description of the resource it will say that the resource was selected by the NMTC Library staff....

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.

Who has the picture?

Google offers an image search which can be quite helpful for generic pictures. However, if you want depth to the information about a piece of art, look to GALILEO.

In particular, select Grove Art Online:
"Grove Art Online provides web access to the entire text of The Dictionary of Art, ed. Jane Turner (1996, 34 vols.) and The Oxford Companion to Western Art, ed. Hugh Brigstocke (2001). We offer ongoing additions of new and updated articles, over 1,500 thumbnail art images and line drawings displayed in the text of articles, extensive image links, and sophisticated search and navigation tools."
