Charitable Giving
Listening to NPR this morning as they asked for donations, made me think about Foundations and charitable giving. How do you find out what charities are "real"?
In GALILEO you can go to
Business and Economics (tab)
...Georgia Corporate Search
"lists all organizations or individuals licensed for business by the Georgia Secretary of State. Information provided for each license holder includes: address, chief executive officer, secretary, and chief financial officer"
I typed in Foundation and 7680 records came up.
Fascinating information!

Something quick
When you're looking for something to read and it's too yucky to go outside....we have 44,000 books in netLibrary that you can select from!
GALILEO
...Databases A-Z
......Jump to N
.........Select netLibrary
I started with romance as the keyword search.
Nothing came up that looked like a fiction title.
netLibrary suggested the Topic American fiction in English
I selected that and over 1400 fiction titles came up!
netLibrary also suggested English fiction as a topic.
I don't have to go out in the rain to find a good story to read.

Cooling down
It's getting cooler, Autumn really is here. The leaves are turning orange, red and yellow. Not the vibrant colors one sees in pictures from the North East but still colorful enough. Which brings me to Horticulture.
HORT 100 learned about the resources available to them through GALILEO. They said- if only we'd know about these resources for our first project. Now they know for their second project.
Web sites suggested by the students and faculty in EHO (Environmental Horticulture program) have been added to GALILEO and to the NMTC_Librarian del.icio.us link.
You'll see the NMTC Librarian link is a Try Me First link when you select Databases A-Z in GALILEO.
