We are delighted to have received a gift from a fellow DTAE school of a print set of Contemporary Authors! The other school is purchasing the online database and needed the shelf space so we are the benificiaries!
Contemporary Authors published by Gale contains "biographical information on more than 120,000 modern novelists, poets, playwrights, nonfiction writers, journalists and scriptwriters in the award-winning Contemporary Authors® series.
Sketches typically include personal information, addresses, career history, writings, work in progress, biographical/critical sources and authors' comments and/or informative essays about their lives and work."
This is a superb addition to our reference collection!

Why do people do that?
Have you ever wondered why groups of people do what they do?
Sociology (according to Websters Dictionary in Encyclopedia Britannica in GALILEO ) is : "the science of society , social institutions, and social relationships; specifically : the systematic study of the development, structure, interaction, and collective behavior of organized groups of human beings."
Sociologists make their living studying human behavior. GALILEO has a subset of EbscoHost, "The Sociological Collection... with more than 475 full-text titles. It provides information on all areas of sociology, including social behavior, human tendencies, interaction, relationships, community development, culture and social structure. "

Finding a business
One can always Google to find a business- type in the name of the company or the type of business. One always takes chances that way- similar named companies appear, thousands of sites show up. Who has the time to weed through the massive amount of information?
We've added The Thomas Register to GALILEO.
The Thomas Register is "the most comprehensive resource for industrial information, products, services, CAD drawings, and more." For our technical programs this is one site that helps students connect with companies in the students field of study.

Mapping your USA travels
It is getting close to holiday travel time. Some folks go "home", others take a vacation in an exotic locale.
This site is a fun way to way to map your US travels: "Go to http://www.world66.com/myworld66/visitedStates and you can click on the list of states which you have visited. Then the map will color in red the states you have visited. Makes a nice visual of your travels."
The atlas is a delightful way to armchair travel. There doesn't seem to be a specific atlas in GALILEO. The Encyclopedia and the Almanac have maps of countries!
