Getting ready for St. Paddy's Day!
If you're wondering how many Americans claim Irish heritage...where would you look for a number?
In GALILEO there is a link to Census Data at "The U.S. Census Bureau which offers the most comprehensive demographic data for the United States. The site includes information and statistics on the nation's population, housing, business and manufacturing activity, international trade, farming, and state and local governments." In their search box I typed Irish and lo and behold there is a frequently asked questions link to St. Patrick's Day and the Irish!

Beware the Ides
I used Google to find information on the Ides of March. It quickly offered me InfoPlease (the first site among 7,250,000 others) where I read all about the middle of the month and Julius Caeser and Shakespeare.
I did then search through GALILEO. I looked at Encyclopedia Britannica, Funk & Wagnalls, Searchasaurus, Oxford English Dictionary.
Google gave me the quickest response for this bit of fact finding.
Knowing what to use as the best resource for finding information is the key to information literacy.

Breakfast in the morning!
Nutritionists tell us that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"! To help everyone at North Metro get off to a good start.....Chick-Fil-A from Woodstock is selling breakfast chicken biscuits for $2.00 from 8:30 till they run out! They are in the lobby right outside the library in the 100 building!
We have a great view.
