Discovering new stuff

Scrolling through the GALILEO list of Databases A-Z is like walking through a department store- you get to "see" new things!

Todays scrolling turned up Advanced Placement Source, an Ebsco product.

Advanced Placement Source is designed to meet the needs of high school students enrolled in various AP courses. It contains more than 6,100 full-text journals and over 200,000 photos, maps and flags. Subject areas include mathematics; physics; chemistry; biology; computer science; human geography; psychology; economics & statistics; government & politics; environmental science; U.S., European and world history; the arts and music.

It's interesting what turns up- articles you might not find in other Ebsco databases.

I must admit Ebsco's interface is not very pretty but it is functional and standard across their offerings.

To use GALILEO at home get the current GALILEO password from your Georgia librarian.
