Something new

In Book Index With Reviews and in NoveList (through GALILEO via NMTC) there is a link to the public WorldCat .

GALILEO
...Databases A-Z
.....Jump to B for Book Index with Reviews
.....Jump to N for NoveList
........search for the title or author or topic you're interested in.
..........Select the book
............Look to the left of the screen and see the links - to Ebsco Host Author search, EbscoHost Title search and to WorldCat!

Each library that subscribes to BIR and NoveList can have the databases customized. NMTC has chosen to have the World Cat link added. We want our patrons to only have to look once. By using World Cat rather than our catalog- if we don't own the book, the patron will find out who has the item without making a second search.

This is so handy. Get your library card out and be ready to borrow!

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.

Letting folks know!

Do you have a group of people with whom you like to share information? At the Ebsco workshop on Tuesday, we were taught how to set up Journal alerts for other people! Setting up an alert for oneself was common knowledge- setting up an alert for others was new information!

The alert process works the same but there is a box where you can add other addresses. This is great for a cooking group where you'd like to share recipes or a study group where you'd all like to have the same articles!

New faces

Georgia Highlands is hosting their fall orientations today at NMTC. This orientation is for students who will be taking classes at the Acworth campus of Georgia Highlands.

New beginnings. Everyone looks excited and nervous.

Novelist has added a feature that book browsers will enjoy....the first chapter of a book!

(So far in my searching in Novelist I only found two titles that had The First Chapter - the Firm by John Grisham and The Long Firm by Jake Arnott. Today was the roll out for this addition to Novelist, perhaps more books will have The First Chapter as time goes by.)

Flowers, bushes, and trees!

It feels like NMTC has a good collection of materials for our Environmental Horticulture program. (Check our card catalog)

This weekend while getting an orientation to the Kenan Research Center at the Atlanta History Center, our collection shrunk in comparison to the Cherokee Garden Library: Center for the Study of Southern Garden History. Their collection has "over 6500 volumes, the library contains 350 years of the literature of horticulture, landscape design, botany, and garden history."

The Kenan Research Center is open to the public at no charge,Tuesday through Saturday from 10-5.
