Day 5

This is Day 5 of the Tuesday/Thursday classes for this quarter. The Librarian shares how to use GALILEO to the Introduction to Computers classes (SCT 100) on Day 5.

We're using the demo of the updated GALILEO "at http://purl.galileo.usg.edu/demo. This implementation represents an effort to incorporate the WebFeat federated search box into the current GALILEO environment and to put in place the infrastructure that allows
launching a search from GALILEO into WebFeat."
You will love how it searches multiple databases at once!

A sailing we will go

Ships for Victory
J.A. Jones Construction Company and Liberty Ships in Brunswick, Georgia

"The online collection consists of eighty-four black-and-white photographs from the J.A. Jones Construction Company collection at the Brunswick-Glynn County Library that depict the company’s World War II cargo ship building activities in its Brunswick, Georgia shipyard from 1943 to 1945. The images document the life cycle of the Liberty and Knot ships built in Brunswick: from keel-laying and hull construction to christening and launch. Construction techniques are visible in many of the photographs, and several images feature the shipyard’s male and female laborers and management staff. In addition, the launch photographs feature ship sponsors and other dignitaries. Of particular note is a series of photographs depicting Christmas Day, 1944, when the shipyard workers volunteered to work through the holiday, donating their time-and-a-half pay as a Christmas gift to the nation.
