Something new!

New resources have been added to the GALILEO database menus in the
demo system .


World Data Analyst from Encyclopædia Britannica includes current and historical statistics on 217 countries of the world. The resource includes tools for comparing and ranking data and creating tables that can be exported into spreadsheets.

It is fun- the database allows you to create tables and charts- with bar graphs! This will be super for country reports.

The tallest, the shortest, the biggest

Where do you go to find lists of information for the tallest, the shortest, the biggest, the smallest? You go to the Almanac!

Browsing through the print edition can be a series of "ah ha" moments. We have several older copies of The World Almanac (AY 67 .N5 W7) available for borrowing.

There is a World Almanac available through GALILEO via First Search.
The more notes in GALILEO offer this information:

The World Almanacs, first published in 1868, is a reference database that covers arts and entertainment, U.S. cities and states, people in the news, the nations of the world, sports, the environment, vital statistics, science and technology, computers, taxes and much more.
The database is made up of:
The World Almanac and Book of Facts
The World Almanac of the U.S.A.
The World Almanac of U.S. Politics
The World Almanac for Kids
The World Almanac Knowledge Source

It's not colorful and image intensive. It's a database by First Search.

FYI Garden Literature Index

Garden Literature Index (Ebsco product) is a wonderful resource. However with advertising, encouraging, and teaching - it's not being used. We will not be renewing our subscription at the end of December.

Upgrading system

The library circulation system is "down" for the morning while we do some techy stuff to make it more efficient!

Voting in Georgia on Tuesday

Believe it or not, tomorrow is an election day in the state of Georgia. There is a statewide run-off.

Your single vote may just make a difference!

Numbers count

The monthly report with statistics, from what program areas use the computers to how many reference questions have been asked, is being compiled. These numbers help the librarians assess how to provide the best library services.
