Touring

Visiting museums to view art is a vacation activity that many people enjoy. Sometimes, the expense of travel makes the museum tour a treat rather than a regular event. Grove Art Online in GALILEO allows you to view art at your convenience without the expense of travel.

In Grove Art Online there is an Images link that takes you to the "Bridgeman Art Library " which "is one of the largest art image providers world-wide. This online art image collection offers over 100,000 art images from major international museums, galleries and auction houses."

Did you ever?

Did you ever take the encyclopedia to bed and read those brief articles to help you sleep? Just enough to read but not too exciting that you stayed awake reading.

Encyclopedia Britannica on-line is not your print encyclopedia! The online encyclopedia offers suggested searches, Britannica Daily, This Day in History, links to news sources (New York Times, BBC News, SBS World News), links to web sites with additional information, the dictionary, Spotlight Archives, and Research tools with links to authors works!

It's a different way to find information- authoritative information.
