Where do you go to find lists of information for the tallest, the shortest, the biggest, the smallest? You go to the Almanac!
Browsing through the print edition can be a series of "ah ha" moments. We have several older copies of The World Almanac (AY 67 .N5 W7) available for borrowing.
There is a World Almanac available through GALILEO via First Search.
The more notes in GALILEO offer this information:
The World Almanacs, first published in 1868, is a reference database that covers arts and entertainment, U.S. cities and states, people in the news, the nations of the world, sports, the environment, vital statistics, science and technology, computers, taxes and much more.
The database is made up of:
The World Almanac and Book of Facts
The World Almanac of the U.S.A.
The World Almanac of U.S. Politics
The World Almanac for Kids
The World Almanac Knowledge Source
It's not colorful and image intensive. It's a database by First Search.
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.

Hi -- you might also be interested to know that we recently launched a blog, available at http://www.worldalmanac.com/blog. It's compiled by the same people who research, write, and edit the World Almanac and Book of Facts. Let us know what you think!
